review:
'The Misadventures of Salem Hyde: Big Birthday Bash' is the second book in a series. Salem Hyde is a young witch with questionable control over her magic, as well as other impulses. Her cat, Whammy, tries to keep her on the straight and narrow, but not very successfully.
In this book, Salem seems to have a problem controlling big and small. She also has a problem with a birthday party. Her friend Edgar is having a party, and she wants to make it special for him. Especially if it means getting him a better present than her rival Shelly. Things get riotously out of hand and Salem ends up learning about some of the true gifts of friendship and what the best gifts are.
It's cute and funny and I think kids will like it too. The cartoon style reminds me of things you might see on the Cartoon Network, which just means more eye appeal for the kids. Frank Cammuso's story and art are great and I'd like to read more about this troublemaking character.
I received a review copy of this book from ABRAMS, Amulet Books and Netgalley in excchnage for an honest review. Thank you for allowing me to review this fun and funny book.
