Unwilling Witch
THE UNWILLING WITCH by David Lubar. Tor Starscape, 2013.
Hurrying to meet her friend Jan at the mall, Angie stops to assist an old woman who looks in distress. As it turns out, the woman instead is a witch who is ready to transfer her power to Angie. But being a new witch is very dangerous. Angie has no understanding of what her powers are and can do. She needs to figure that out, though, before the one who would take that power from her dispatches her. Lubar's new series MONSTERRIFIC TALES, is sure to be popular with middle grade readers with its skillful combination of humor and danger.
