Books like Little Broomstick by Mary Stewart
When Tib, a black cat, asks Mary Smith for help rescuing his brother from a witch’s spell, she is drawn into an enchanted forest and finds a mysterious broomstick. The broomstick takes Mary soaring over treetops, beyond clouds, and into the grounds of Endor College—an institution where fully‑qualified witches coach exams. There she uncovers a sinister experiment that has trapped deformed and mutant animals in cages. Realizing that Tib has been captured, Mary rushes back to the college, frees the animals, but the college’s head, Miss Mumblechook, and her colleague, Doctor Dee, spot her. With the evil pair in hot pursuit, Mary must use her wits and the magic of the broomstick to escape.
