“Witch Delivery” is an exciting, sometimes funny, fantasy story about the adventures of a Korean high-school girl who unexpectedly becomes a witch.
We’re used to the idea that witches fly on brooms—but not in this book. Who needs calluses on their hands? Here, witches fly on vacuum cleaners! How else could you manage to deliver apple-mango ice cream with cheese shavings on time?
For fans of Miyazaki’s cartoons, the series “Sabrina—The Little Witch,” “The Chilling Adventures of Sabrina,” “Wednesday,” as well as Korean literature and culture.
Bora is an ordinary high-school student. She dreams of going with her friend to a concert of her favorite K-pop group, but she has absolutely no money for tickets. So she decides to find a part-time job and completely by chance gets hired at the courier service “Witch Delivery.”
Bora’s surprise knows no bounds when she learns that real witches work there—and that she’s going to become one of them! And to do that, she must complete training: attend one coven meeting, listen to safety instructions for flying on a vacuum cleaner, and feed five homeless cats.
Soon Bora discovers that the mysterious packages she delivers aren’t what they seem. She’ll have to find out what’s actually hidden inside them.
