Synopsis from Aya to Majo
Not all orphans like to live in the St. Morwald orphanage, but Earwig does. She gets everything she wants, when she wants, and it has always been since she was an abandoned baby in the orphanage. But all of this changes when Bella Yaga and Mandrake arrive in St. Morwald disguised as adoptive parents. Earwig is brought to her home full of mysterious rooms, potions and magic books. Most of the children would have fled such a house frightened … but that is again not the case with Earwig, who, with his own intelligence and with the help of a talking cat, decides to show the witch who is the boss there.
