The Glass Witch

By: Lindsay Puckett

Narrated by: Cassandra Morris, Andrew Russell

Her bones are glass, but her heart is magic.

Adelaide Goode has never been good enough. Everyone knows she's the weakest witch born to the Goode family in centuries. And now her mom is betraying her in the worst possible way: abandoning her in Cranberry Hallow, where she has no friends at all, for three whole months! And she's pushing her to compete in the town Halloween pageant!

If Addie is going to be stuck in this town, her mother won't get away so easy...so she sets off the curse that's been haunting her family for centuries. But she doesn't plan on the curse turning her bones to glass and setting a 300-year-old witch hunter after her.

With the aid of a monster-obsessed neighbor and a twitchy-nosed, furry friend, Addie must hunt down the ingredients necessary to break the curse before the stroke of midnight. And if she doesn't...she might just erase magic from her family, and her town, forever.

Chef’s Kiss Middle Grade Book

The Glass Witch is funny, sweet, affirming, and full of love. Addie, a young witch, is struggling with finding her place in her family and in the world. Even more importantly, she is insecure about her own self image. Fortunately, she has the support of her friend, Fatima, and a magical bunny who is waiting to be adopted. The story is deftly woven by debut author, Lindsay Puckett, and is an absolute joy from beginning to end. Both narrators are successful at allowing the voices of the characters shine through. I loved The Glass Witch and am happy to recommend it.

Amazing!!! Such a cute spooky store

I loved this book because it was spooky with adult themes like acceptance but in a way kids can relate and understand! I would say this is perfect for middle grade but also for anyone wanting a cozy spooky story! The story was brought to life by the voices they picked!
