Jessica Haggerthwaite: Witch Dispatcher

153 pp. | Walker | October, 2001 | Trade ISBN 0-8027-8794-0 $$16.95
(3) 4-6 Illustrated by Tim Archbold. When Mom announces that she's going to become a professional witch and Dad moves out in protest, Jessica vows to foil her mother's plans. But all of Jessica's attempts backfire and soon Mom's business is booming. The tone is light and the scratchy black-and-white drawings are comic in this surprisingly warm story about an unconventional family learning to overcome its differences.
