Mirabelle and her family are on holiday, staying in a lovely cottage by the sea. There's just one problem-they're not meant to be using magic.

Meet Cat and Dumpling. They're as different as can be, like radishes and raincoats. In this story, Cat wants to go on holiday, but a disaster in the garden means Dumpling doesn't want to join her. They eventually get out the door, but their camping trip doesn't quite go to plan.
