Earwig and the Witch

(2) 1-3 Illustrated by Paul O. Zelinsky. Bossy Earwig is not your typical orphan in distress. She's adopted by an unpleasant witch and a nine-foot-tall fire-demon but takes advantage of the situation and learns magic to outwit the witch. This early chapter book features a nonstop plot, memorable characters, an accessible design, and plentiful line illustrations. A worthy introduction to the delights of a master fantasy writer.
