The Only Thing Worse Than Witches
The Only Thing Worse Than Witches
Author: Lauren Magaziner
Desc: Rupert Campbell is fascinated by the witches who live nearby. He dreams of broomstick tours and souvenir potions but the closest he can get to a witchy experience is sitting in class with his awful teacher Mrs. Frabbleknacker who smells like bellybutton lint and forbids Rupert’s classmates from talking to each other before during and after class. So when he sees an ad to become a witch’s apprentice Rupert simply can’t resist applying. But Witchling Two isn’t exactly what Rupert expected. With a hankering for lollipops and the magical aptitude of a toad she needs all the help she can get to pass her exams and become a full-fledged witch. She’s determined to help Rupert stand up to dreadful Mrs. Frabbleknacker too but the witchling's magic will be as useful as a clump of seaweed unless Rupert can figure out a way to help her improve her spellcasting—and fast!
