The Salem Witch Tryouts

  At Beverly Hills High, Prudence is a big deal: popular, star and soon-to-be head of the cheerleading squad, and a straight-A student. She is also half-witch, half-mortal, and, though she doesn't use her magic in public, her younger brother, Tobias, has been unable to control his abilities. To avoid what could be a major scandal if the family's heritage were to come to light, Prudence's parents have decided to move to Salem, MA, where both children can learn to hone their craft at Agatha's Day School for Witches. There, Prudence discovers that her lack of formal training has made her somewhat of an outcast. She has to attend remedial classes and can't fully participate in the school's cheerleading squad because the routines involve magic.
  The Salem Witch Tryouts took way too long for the story to really develop. The story was alright in the beginning, I got to find some things that I liked about Pru, but I didn’t get to fall in love with the book until the story already started. Then I LOVED it! This story was so much different and so much better then I expected. This story has minimal witchcraft “things”, so parents and children will not get offended by this book. You kind of even forget it’s about learning to be a witch. It’s more like learning to be yourself, just in a different light. I really liked it. Salem Witch Tryouts was humorous and entertaining. I think it’s a great book to read.
