The Weird Sisters: A Note, a Goat, and a Casserole

Gr 1-3–Meet the Weird Sisters: a trio of wacky witches, along with their cat, who have just moved into the town of Covenly and opened a pet store. Their first customer quickly arrives, a young girl named Jessica, who has lost her pet goat and hopes that her new neighbors may help her track it down. The siblings prepare to help her search, but find an ominous note that implies that their presence is unwelcome in Covenly. What follows is a series of comical miscommunications and clever wordplay, with overarching themes of tolerance, acceptance, and open-mindedness that will have readers laughing out loud as they race to uncover the mysteries. Chapters range from four- to six-pages long and feature whimsical black-and-white illustrations throughout. Back matter includes a recipe for a witch’s stew, as well as the announcement of a sequel. The sisters are cued as white.
