Publisher's Note
Velde's spellbinding short stories are filled with magic and mayhem. Witness the boy who breaks his dance date because he's too cheap to spend money on her. He learns about spells the hard way in "Curses, Inc". What happens when a woman brings her son back from the dead in "The Witch's Son"? Many folks go to Granny Orilla for remedies. Does a cure or a curse await in "Cypress Swamp Granny"? Beware: These haunting stories will put you under the spell. An ALA Quick Pick--Top 10.

Industry Reviews
"...has something to appeal to everyone....Give this one to readers who are ready for some sophisticated tales of the supernatural."
Bulletin of the Center for Children's Books - Janice M. Del Negro (05/19/1997)

"The tales are mostly slight, but entertaining, and Vande Velde adds a delightful introduction and afterword, in which she discusses the importance of titles and the inspiration for her stories."
Locus - Carolyn Cushman (06/19/1997)
