Posy and the Witch's Secret by Evangeline Egg
"Nine-year-old Posy Mortimer's parents are overjoyed - they're having a baby. But Posy isn't so happy: her parents hardly have any time for her, and her mother Iris will surely explode if her belly gets any fatter. Besides, she's far too old to have a baby.
And now Posy's parents have arranged for Aunt Hyacinth - who hates children - to look after Posy while Iris has the baby. Posy soon discovers that Aunt Hyacinth is actually rather cool: she's a garden witch. She even has a magical cat that turns into a patchwork bag.
But trouble is just round the corner when Posy receives a phone call from her desperately ill Granny. Aunt Hyacinth and Posy's friend Josh rush to Granny's side. A few days before, Granny ate an apple, a pip lodged in her lung, and it's growing into an apple tree. "A Horticultural Implantation," says Aunt Hyacinth, "and almost always fatal." And so begins a race against time. Posy and Aunt Hyacinth must find the magical ingredients needed for 'Ashra,' the only potion that cures Horticultural Implantations, or Posy's granny will die.
Around the world they travel from one magical garden to another, but in Hollow Waste, a place full of evil hags, Aunt Hyacinth reveals her darker side, and Posy must overcome her fears brought on by recurring nightmares to help her aunt win the day. It doesn't help that she soon finds out all is not as it seems."
