The Bag of Bones: The Second Tale from the Five Kingdoms, Paperback Book, By: Vivian French

The good witches of Wading burn are worried - there's a new witch in town with a bag of magic bones, and she's so evil she makes their toes ache... Another fun-filled fantasy in the Tales from the Five Kingdoms stories that started with The Robe of Skulls. Truda Hangnail is a very wicked witch, banned from the Five Kingdoms because of her use of deep magic. Then she comes up with a fiendish plan to restore evil to the Five Kingdoms, transforming the good witches of Wadding burn into shrivelled, wicked old witches who will help her take over King Frank's kingdom on his fiftieth birthday. Luckily, a sweet-natured half-human, half-elf named Lobby is witness to Trudy's evil spell and sets off to fetch help. As the birthday party looms and Trudy's evil gathers strength, Lobby enlists the help of Prince Marcus of Gore breath and Gracie Gillypot, as well as old friends Gubble the troll and Marlon and Alf the bats, to stop Truda and send her packing to the house of the Ancient Crones to face her just deserts.
