Customer Reviews

This is a great book!

All the books in this series are great- this one follows Barney, Cassie, and their Aunt Alex and her accountant Crenshaw to the Devonshire area of England. Aunt Alex wants to show an old enemy from years ago to show that she, once and for all, is better than the "dragon lady", Beatrice Venable. However, when they arrive at the Venable estate for Winifred Venable's award ceremony, Aunt Alex finds that Beatrice is more beautiful, talented- and MEANER than ever. The bully from Cassie's boarding school is there, as well- and as soon as they arrive, Cassie, Barney, and Aunt Alex have terrible, magical things happen to them. They find out that the female Venables are witches- and the youngest Venable has put a curse on the three of them. A very funny, and informative book about different, famous places in the area, including Startford-on-Avon, Stonehenge, and the witch trials in a nearby village.
