Spelling Trouble

**In Eisner Award-nominated cartoonist Frank Cammuso's *The Misadventures of Salem Hyde: Spelling Trouble*, "a fledgling witch receives necessary guidance from a talking cat in this utterly adorable page-turner . . . A delightful buddy story and an auspicious series opener" (*Kirkus*, starred review).** Salem Hyde just isn't like other kids. For one thing, she's stubborn, independent, and impulsive. For another, she's a witch. Good thing she's been assigned an animal companion, Lord Percival J. Whamsford III. This over-anxious cat doesn't like Salem calling him "Whammy," and Salem doesn't like listening to his long-winded explanations as to why she shouldn'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 there's nothing like a misspelled spell to cause all kinds of havoc!
