About this title

Review:

"Shannon has used clever wordplay and created a downright fun language game. . . Classroom spelling bees will never be the same once young readers get their hands on this title."
--School Library Journal

"Shannon and Fearing combine their considerable talents to create a most bewitching tale of self-confidence and perseverance."
--Kirkus

"Spelling truly is magic in Shannon's easygoing story about a purple-haired witch named Cordelia who loves spelling words and casting spells."
--Publishers Weekly

"It's difficult to make a subject like spelling memorable, but Shannon's text engagingly demonstrates the relationship between words while Fearing's pencil and digital illustrations lend a Saturday-morning-cartoon quality to the characters and the comedic spell-casting action."
--The Horn Book Magazine

"Shannon and Fearing turn a spelling lesson into magic."
--USA Today
