As a witch lover, I wanted to love this one. But, I just couldn't. I loved that the cute little witch, Witchita, wanted to get into the Salem Witch School, and did actually get accepted. But, it went downhill after that. Her friends throw her a party, then off she goes.
She send her friends a letter that says how much she hates the school and how she feels so alone. So, they all find a way to go rescue her. And, she just shrugs it off, and tells them she sent it weeks ago, and that she now loves the school and her new friends.
Bad ending, y'all. I would be be ticked off if I went to rescue a friend, and they told me they didn't really mean what the letter said.

This is a great book for young readers and the fact that it is a graphic novel makes me like it even more because it is something that is easy to get into for someone who struggles with read a regular book.
