It's a cold December day when teenage apprentice witch Beatrice Bailey and her friends Ollie, Teddy, and Cyrus prepare to take the difficult qualifying exam for witches. They need to pass it in order to be accepted by any of the witch academies. On her way to the exam, Beatrice encounters a strange fox that leaves no footprints in the snow, and then suddenly disappears before her eyes. Is this an omen of strange things to come? Several weeks later, Beatrice and her friends learn - to their surprise and dismay - that they've been accepted at Widdershins Academy. They had applied to several schools for witches, but Widdershins wasn't on their list. How on earth did they get accepted there? Something mysterious is going on - and the mystery grows deeper on the day they arrive at Widdershins Academy. Sandra Forrester has to date published six Beatrice Bailey novels, all of them available from Barron's: "The Everyday Witch", "The Witches of Bailiwick", "The Witches of Friar's Lantern", "The Witches of Sea-Dragon Bay", and "The Witches of Winged-horse Mountain".
