Just when Cat can't take it anymore, Great Aunt Abyssinia comes to the rescue. And things go from bad to cursed. <p/>The next morning, Cat opens her mouth and a toad hops out! What's more, when Olivia speaks, diamonds and flowers appear. How unfair is <i>that</i>? Before you can say happily ever after, the girls are on the run from jewel thieves and a government agency.
