Salem Hyde just isnâ€™t like other kids. For one thing, sheâ€™s stubborn, independent, and impulsive. For another, sheâ€™s a witch. Salem acts first and thinks laterâ€”which means most of her thinking involves coming up with excuses!, Good thing sheâ€™s been assigned an animal companion, Lord Percival J. Whamsford III. This over-anxious cat doesnâ€™t like Salem calling him â€œWhammy,â€ and Salem doesnâ€™t like listening to his long-winded explanations as to why she shouldnâ€™t do something . . . like enter the class spelling bee., Salem knows she can beat all her classmates at spells, no problem. Too late, she realizes the competition is about spelling ,words,, not magic. And thereâ€™s nothing like a misspelled spell to cause all kinds of havoc! Â ,
