Laveder the Purple Cat girl is the owner of a small magic potion shop with problems...many problems. Aside from her store being overrun by poisonous, pygmy elephants, the occasional alien abduction and the devil, a giant magic store chain has decided to move in next door and crush her hopes of ever making a sale. Not to mention that her only employee and faster than the speed of light bunny, Saiko, has the attention span of a chickpea and a disturbing affection for Lavender's enchanted car. Now Lavender must think fast before an over-zealous ex-superhero health inspector shuts her down for good. Will Lavender meet the inspector's demands on time? Where are the poisonous vermin coming from? Will Saiko's love for cars go too far? This publisher is a new client to Diamond Book Distributors!
