(3) 4-6 Mildred, scapegrace student at Miss Cackle's Academy for Witches, finally comes up with an amazing summer project--a spell to make animals talk--but her rival, perfect Ethel, steals her spell and endangers Einstein, Mildred's bespelled turtle. This well-conducted school story with convincing middle-grade characters features an earnestly likable protagonist in a setting that humorously juxtaposes the ordinary with the fantastical.
Reviewer: Anita L. Burkam
