The Witch's Curse (Christy Ottaviano Books)

The much-anticipated sequel to the hilarious Witch's Guide to Cooking with Children from THE UNITED STATES OF GRIMM series. This time Sol and Connie face off against the hunter king from the Grimm folktale, Brother and Sister. The hunter doesn't want to ride them down but, because of his curse, he has to. Too bad for Sol and Connie. Funny and scary at the same time, the American Library Association's Booklist calls it "another edgy, absorbing read" and the Bank Street College of Education named it a Best Book of 2014.
