BOOK TREATS

Wanda Witch and the Bullies

By Impey, Rose

This Scholastic Level 3 Reader kept giggles and questions going throughout the whole read. Much to Wanda’s embarrassment her mom makes the cat, Cat-a-bogus walk her to school. There, she takes matters into her own wand when she’s tripped and bullied. And when walking home after school, she devises a sweet form of retaliation that any goblin will surely dislike.

“I’m going to be what the goblins are for Halloween. Can we make my brother wear that?” - Little Reader - Um, no!
