Mary finds a rare flower in the woods that temporarily grants her magical powers and activates a broomstick. The broom carries her to Endor College, a school for witches run by Madam Mumblechook. The headmistress mistakes Mary for a prodigy because of the flowerβs intense energy. Mary discovers that the school is a front for dangerous transformation experiments on animals and children. When the headmistress realizes Mary's magic comes from the flower, she kidnaps Mary's friend Peter to force a trade. Mary must use her remaining magical resources to rescue Peter, stop the experiments, and return home to her normal life.
