Illustrated by
Mark Fearing.
When the Witches' Double Spelling Bee rolls around, young witch Cordelia thinks she'll be a shoo-in. Her skills are put to the test against thirteen-time winner Beulah Divine. Shannon's text engagingly demonstrates the relationships between words while Fearing's kinetic pencil and digital illustrations lend a Saturday-morning-cartoon quality to the characters and the comedic spell-casting action.
