Greta, a witch who enjoys playing nasty tricks on people, tries to make the kind witch Alice just like her, but the spell backfires.

Alice is a good witch. And Greta... well, Greta and trouble are never far apart. Alice spends her time helping others by weaving her enchanting spells. All Greta does is wreak havoc. But when a forgotten spell comes back to haunt her, Greta's stuck learning something she should have learned long ago.

"Frog's guts and lizard's eyes, to every color I say good-bye! Greta's at it again. This time, she casts a spell she knows Alice will hate--one that makes all color in the world disappear! Now Alice may be nice, but a witch has to do what a witch has to do. So Alice casts a spell of her own to teach Greta a lesson. Soon the spells start flying, and before they know it, Alice and Greta have made a color magic mess--every color in the world gets mixed up! Can Alice and Greta work together to fix this color confusion? Steve Simmons and Cyd Moore make magic again with another Alice and Greta adventure--a delightful story with an important message about the beauty and importance of differences.

At the end of the previous book in The Johnny Skull Series – “The Great Sicilian Rabbit Hunter” – Johnny discovers a fortune in gold and cash in an abandoned coal mine. He then proceeds to give many of his friends a gift of $20,000, but he remains the anonymous gift giver. “A Tribute To His Heroes” – the fifth in The Johnny Skull Series – follows the recipients of the gifts and how their new wealth affects their lives. Returning to the story line are many of the characters from the previous four books of the series, including Emily and Cimmaron, Rocky, Diego, Trudie and Marlie, Sheriff Webb, Helga, Sarah and Vanessa, Richie, Omaline, Saundra and Jenny, Greta, and Xerxes, the Persian. New characters include an ex-Marine and an undercover Israeli operative. A sub-plot of the story is the murder of a radical Muslim cleric, how that murder intertwines the lives of several of the characters, and the international intrigue that builds upon that incident. * * * “Reading this book was like taking a trip down memory lane and visiting old friends. The Johnny Skull Series just keeps getting better and better.” – Jack Paige, Ph.D., Literary Consultant
