I love children. Eating them, that is. So begins this laugh-out-loud adventure in which a misunderstood genius brother and a tricky younger sister--Sol and Connie--go up against a brilliant witch who dines on children--sometimes with candles lit and fine wine, other times snacking from a plate in the glow of primetime TV. Called "funny and subversive" by USA Today and "a literary treat" by The New Yorker, this story blends humor and adventure, adds sibling arguments while mixing well, seasons with riddles, and goes down in a single, surprising gulp. Afterward, for dessert, READ THE CONTINUING ADVENTURES OF SOL AND CONNIE, The Witch's Curse.
