Book name: The Witches of Worm

Author: Zilpha Keatley Snider

Page Number: 183 pages

Genre: Fantasy

Star rating: 10 out of 10

Overview: This interesting and mysterious book is about a teenage girl named Jessica who found an ugly and skinny kitten in a cave and brought it home with her. She named it Worm. But afterwards, she found out that cat is not an ordianry kitten. Firstly, she heard an evil and menacing voice coming from it. Secondly, it frightened the neighbourhood cats so they would not come put to play anymore. Now Worm even started to tell Jessica to play wicked tricks and lie to peopleQ Before she knew it, she discovered Worm was a witch's cat. Would she be bewitched by that evil kitten and be controlled by it forever?

Comments: I think this book s supremely written with tension and suspense about who actually Worm is at the beginning. Although I like this book, I dislike Jessica because she is stupid and foolish to listen to Worm all the time. I especially liked the story's ending when Brandon and Jessica became friends again. I think this book tells us that oin everyone's mind there lives a demon of some shape and form, and the challenge is to defeat it and you will becaome yourself again.
