| The Cape Cod Witch and the Pirate’s Treasure By J Bean Palmer This is an uptone illustrated adventure written for young readers, but is perfect for reading aloud to smaller children and fun for adults, too. The youngest witch on Cape Cod, ElsBeth Amelia Thistle, is involved in all the normal aspects of growing up. She goes to school, has a boy who teases her to death, a teacher who drives her crazy, some interesting friends. In short, a normal life. Of course she’s a little different too. She lives with her grandmother, a witch who’s been around for centuries. She’s good friends with a large bullfrog who was formerly a handsome Indian prince. A member of the family is a magical, meddling, troublemaker of a cat. Then Halloween approaches and the lines between natural and supernatural get a little too close. In this sleepy Cape Cod town, a pirate’s legend has never quite been forgotten. |
