Witch Wars

by Sibéal Pounder Narrated by Karen Cass

Overview

When Fran the Fabulous Fairy turns up in Tiga Whicabim's shed to tell her she's a witch, Tiga doesn't believe her. Or at least not until Fran points out that TIGA WHICABIM is actually an anagram of I AM A BIG WITCH and magics her away down the drainpipes to compete in Witch Wars - the competition to crown the next Top Witch of Ritzy City.

Editorial Reviews

From the Publisher

A colorful and unpredictable cast of characters. . . Silliness, riddles, puns, and many magical mishaps make this a great choice to help fill the elusive 'funny book' hole that exists in many collections.” —School Library Journal

"Debut author Pounder blends the particular, peculiar power of elimination competitions with the magic of fairies and witches, a winning combination. Anderson’s b&w illustrations—part Edward Gorey, part fashion illustration—bring an appropriately eerie style to the story." —Publishers Weekly

"Pounder’s entertaining first novel is packed with silliness, suspense, magic, and a surprising final turn. Humorous gray-scale cartoons add to the appeal . . . . Promises good fun for middle-graders." —Booklist

"Pounder's comic romp froths with eccentric characters and whimsical worldbuilding, while Anderson contributes abundant charming drawings . . . . A sweet little magical tale with at least one sequel on the way." —Kirkus Reviews

"The wide-eyed figures of Anderson’s multicultural cast have an energetic silliness that complements the bubbly humor of the text. Fans of Hale’s Ever After High series . . . will find this to be an enchanting counterpart to those books." —BCCB
