Synopsis
It's a cold December day when teenage apprentice witch Beatrice Bailey and her friends Ollie, Teddy, and Cyrus prepare to take the difficult qualifying exam for witches. They need to pass it in order to be accepted by any of the witch academies. On her way to the exam, Beatrice encounters a strange fox that leaves no footprints in the snow, and then suddenly disappears before her eyes. Is this an omen of strange things to come? Several weeks later, Beatrice and her friends learn--to their surprise and dismay--that they've been accepted at Widdershins Academy. They had applied to several schools for witches, but Widdershins wasn't on their list. How on earth did they get accepted there? Something mysterious is going on--and the mystery grows deeper on the day they arrive at Widdershins Academy. Kids who shared Beatrice's adventures in earlier novels are in for a special treat when they open this brand-new adventure in the popular series. And kids who are new to Beatrice's magic adventures will want to read all the others as soon as they've finished The Witches of Widdershins Academy.
