About the Book
Salem, Massachusetts is the site of the infamous witch trials and the new home of Samantha Mather. Recently transplanted from New York City, Sam and her stepmother are not exactly welcomed with open arms. Sam is the descendant of Cotton Mather, one of the men responsible for those trials and almost immediately, she becomes the enemy of a group of girls who call themselves The Descendants. And guess who their ancestors were?
If dealing with that weren't enough, Sam also comes face to face with a real live (well technically dead) ghost. A handsome, angry ghost who wants Sam to stop touching his stuff. But soon Sam discovers she is at the center of a centuries old curse affecting anyone with ties to the trials. Sam must come to terms with the ghost and find a way to work with the Descendants to stop a deadly cycle that has been going on since the first accused witch was hanged. If any town should have learned its lesson, it's Salem. But history may be about to repeat itself.
Audiobook available, narrated by Adriana Mather.

Late July 2016
We are officially less than 10 days from the release of HARRY POTTER AND THE CURSED CHILD --- or roughly 9 days, 14 hours and 30 minutes at the time of writing this newsletter, but who’s counting? Scholastic got the party started early today with a good old-fashioned #MuggleMob outside of their offices in SoHo, New York. About 300 employees gathered in a flash mob to read from Harry Potter books and give away free copies of the previous books in the series while music from the movies played in the background. I’m sad to say that I wasn’t on the scene, but my Twitter feed gave me major FOMO --- you can see some pictures above.
