Jennifer, Hecate, Macbeth, William McKinley, and Me, Elizabeth

By: E. L. Konigsburg

Narrated by: Carol Jordan Stewart

Elizabeth is an only child, new to town, and that can be very lonely. So when she meets Jennifer, a girl from her school - who claims to be a witch no less - she is eager to become her apprentice. Over the course of the next several months, the girls meet on Saturdays for their weekly rituals and read volumes on witchcraft in hopes of developing a flying ointment. But they do not find the best magic in Jennifer's black cauldron.©1967 E.L. Konigsburg; (P)1998 Random House, Inc. Listening Library, an imprint of the Random House Audio Publishing Group

Excellent!

I loved this book growing up and it is wonderful to be able to hear it again.

A childhood favorite

Why did I love this story so much as a child? From the distance of 50 years, it was easy to see: Elizabeth’s story is a story of hope for every 10-year-old who ever felt like they didn’t fit the mold of grownups’ expectations. It’s also a story of how relationships help us discover who we really are at heart, and how that awareness can lead us into ever more satisfying connection with others. Quite an achievement for a book that is so well crafted to delight a young reader! Highly recommend.

You must read this book

I have read this book multiple times since I was a girl in the 60s when I read it for the first time. It has not lost its appeal and it is beautifully narrated.

Great book!

this was a very good book, I really enjoyed it. I remember I listen to this book more than 40 years ago it's been a long time but a lot of it comes back to me. the narrator did an excellent job, really enjoyed how she did the characters brought them all to life.
