By Zilpha Keatley Snyder, Alton Raible (Illustrator)
A sinister kitten compels Jessica to do terrible things. Can she break free from its spell?
Jessica never liked cats, especially not Worm, the kitten with a sinister voice. Now, she's trapped in a web of mischief, forced to play cruel tricks by the cat's evil whispers. Convinced Worm is a witch's cat, Jessica must find a way to break the spell. But who will believe her tale of enchantment and danger? As the line between reality and magic blurs, Jessica faces a chilling question: is she truly bewitched, or is something darker at play?
Cats. Jessica’s never liked them. Especially not a skinny, ugly kitten that looks like a worm. Worm. Jessica wishes she’d never brought Worm home with her, because now he’s making her do terrible things. She’s sure she isn’t imagining the evil voice coming from the cat, telling her to play mean tricks on people. But how can she explain what’s happening? Witches. Jessica has read enough books to know that Worm must be a witch’s cat. He’s cast a spell on her, but whom can she turn to? After all, no one will believe that Worm has bewitched her…or worse!
