The Witch Who Wasn't
by Jane YolenAs a young witch, Isabel is a complete flop. She can turn a snake into chocolate cake and a bug into something huggable, but she can't make anything the least bit scary. To make matters worse, Isabel doesn't even look like a witch-her eyes are blue, her hair curly, and her cat is more of a kitten. So you can imagine her despair on Halloween night at the Witches' Convention, where she is expected to make something really awful happen. In a hilarious ending guaranteed to bewitch the youngest reader, Isabel brews up a delightful surprise that frightens the witches out of their wits-and wins her a very special place of honor. Jane Yolen has created a character that will be remembered as the most endearing, amusing, and original little witch ever to fly across the pages of a children's book. Arnold Roth's illustrations poke fun at witchly goings on with imaginative gusto and humor.
