Are the witches as ugly as we are told in stories and as we see in pictures? And what of the fairies, those beautiful ladies? Are they really so sweet and so thin? The issue is not so clear. Is it possible, for example, that outer appearances fool us all? The issue is something dark and there are opinions for every taste. Perhaps this book will settle the matter, finally revealing the secrets of witches with their hats, their warts, and those horrible mustaches that both frighten us and make for an exquisite tale.

Some books are too evil to be ignored. They cannot be thrown away or burned. They must be buried deep in the earth.

Summer is over and that can only mean one thing for eight-year-old Mallory McDonald (like the restaurant, but no relation)--she has to go back to school.

She's the new music teacher, and Mallory can't think of anything that could possibly be worse--until her first day.
