Book and wrapper very good - Does have the stamp of an American school inside - Doesn't look like it was ever read - A Newbury Honour Award Winner. >>> Has a kitten recently approached you and demanded that you perform increasingly dangerous pranks? Get everything you need to handle the situation (including a step by step exorcism!) with The Witches of Worm, by Zilpha Keatley Snyder. We explore Snyders subtle blurring of the line between fantasy and reality, (Dragon Babies) >>> Consider me flying over you at this moment, zigzagging over your head on my quickest broom, cackling with glee. Hee-hee-hee-hee-hee-hee-hee. - I feel incredibly alive right now, spirited you might say, just knowing that some crazy, politically incorrect fiction like this from the early 1970s still exists. - Look at me! Wheeee! - How lucky are we that no one has burned all the copies of this book yet? (Just try and grab my copy, y'all, and see what happens to your hand). - I don't even need to decide if this novel is a trick or a treat. - It's obvious that it's both, or it was both to me. - If you've ever been a girl, ever worked through the occasional hell of being a teen or pre-teen girl, ever been ostracized, abandoned, ignored, rejected. . . I can't imagine that you'd find your way to this one and be able to feel anything but. . . Validated? Empowered? Vindicated? Emancipated? - Wowza, Wow, Wow, I've been sucking on this middle grades story like a butterscotch candy, and I'm still contemplating this sweet, complicated, creepy fiction. - My thirteen-year-old summed it up nicely as we wrapped up the story: she slunk down low in her bed, pulled the blanket close to her face, and said, Whoa.
