The Only Thing Worse Than Witches

The Only Thing Worse Than Witches

Roald Dahl meets Eva Ibbotson in this hilarious middle grade debutÂ

* "Fifth-grader Rupert Campbell lives in a world that combines Roald Dahlâ€™sÂ WitchesÂ and Louis Sacharâ€™s Wayside School.Â Readers will banish themselves from the ordinary world to finish this book in a flash." --Kirkus Reviews,Â starred review

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 Rupertâ€™s classmates from talking to each other before, during, and after class. So when he sees an ad to become a witchâ€™s apprentice, Rupert simply canâ€™t resist applying.Â But Witchling Two isnâ€™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. Sheâ€™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 spellcastingâ€”and fast!
