Frequently admonished for her impulsive behavior, Salem Hyde, a young witch, ignores long lectures by her dignified animal companion and enters a spelling competition at school only to discover that the "spelling" involves words instead of magic. - Harry N. Abrams, Inc.Salem Hyde just isnât like other kids. For one thing, sheâs stubborn, independent, and impulsive. For another, sheâs a witch. Salem acts first and thinks laterâwhich means most of her thinking involves coming up with excuses!
Good thing sheâs been assigned an animal companion, Lord Percival J. Whamsford III. This over-anxious cat doesnât like Salem calling him âWhammy,â and Salem doesnât like listening to his long-winded explanations as to why she shouldnât do something . . . like enter the class spelling bee.
Salem knows she can beat all her classmates at spells, no problem. Too late, she realizes the competition is about spelling words, not magic. And thereâs nothing like a misspelled spell to cause all kinds of havoc!Praise for The Misadventures of Salem Hyde: Book One
