Maybe There Are Witches

De: Jude Atwood

Narrado por: Hana Lass

After moving to the tiny village of Biskopskulla, middle school student Clara Hutchins discovers that her family has a history in the region: one hundred forty years ago, one of her ancestors was hanged as a witch from the white oak tree on the edge of town. When Clara finds a mildewed diary in the basement, she's even able to read the rambling thoughts of her long-dead relative. But when the book's predictions about Clara's own life start coming true, she wonders if those nineteenth-century villagers had a point: maybe her great-great-great grandmother really did have unearthly abilities. Now, a break-in at the tomb of the town's founder means a great evil has returned to Biskopskulla. Clara and her newest friends—two of the weirdest boys in school—must join forces to decipher the messages of a murdered witch and stop an unnatural catastrophe. But as they quest through historic cemeteries, backcountry libraries, and high-octane scholastic bowl tournaments, something sinister is lurking, watching, and waiting . . .

Perfect for adults as well as kids

This book feels a bit like a Pixar movie, in that it’s a fun adventure for kids but it has enough humor and surprises that grown-ups will enjoy it too. One of the best audiobooks of the year!

One of the better middle grade magic tricks since Harry Potter

I have been searching for a good middle grade magic book. This kept me interested the whole time. The narrator was good and the author did a great job.

Jump into a world of mystery both familiar & mystical

Great book to listen to with my middle schooler. It made our road trip fly by. She wanted to stay in the car to finish! Hope this turns into a series!
