Winner at the 2012 International Latino Book Awards. An entertaining and bewitchingly illustrated guide that will delight those who dare to venture into the mysterious witches world. Three days ago, my brother and I received the most mysterious letter from Aunt Amarga: “Dear niece and nephew, There’s not much time left... Do you want to learn everything you’ve ever wanted to know but have never before known because nobody has ever known? In short: Do you want to know if witches really exist?” Being a witch is hard work, especially because they have to keep it a secret all the time! Being evil, flying in those impossible broomsticks, mixing all kind of plants together to create the perfect evil potions and spells... it is an enduring task! Aunt Amarga is a witch, and probably the only one left. That is why she decides to share this Witches Handbook with her nephews, so that all the all-time secrets of witches don’t go along with her! Readers of all ages will laugh along as they learn everything about the magic world of witches. Read the first pages right here:

The Pulitzer Prize-winning author of Cleopatra, the #1 national bestseller, unpacks the mystery of the Salem Witch Trials. It began in 1692, over an exceptionally raw Massachusetts winter, when a minister's daughter began to scream and convulse. It ended less than a year later, but not before 19 men and women had been hanged and an elderly man crushed to death. The panic spread quickly, involving the most educated men and prominent politicians in the colony. Neighbors accused neighbors, parents and children each other. Aside from suffrage, the Salem Witch Trials represent the only moment when women played the central role in American history. In curious ways, the trials would shape the future republic. As psychologically thrilling as it is historically seminal, The Witches is Stacy Schiff's account of this fantastical story -- the first great American mystery unveiled fully for the first time by one of our most acclaimed historians.

SOMETIMES YOU CHOOSE YOUR BATTLES. AND SOMETIMES, THEY CHOOSE YOU... Once, Max dreamed of a career, a home, a loving family. Now all she wants is freedom...and revenge. A witch named Giselle transformed Max into a warrior with extraordinary strength, speed, and endurance. Bound by spellcraft, Max has no choice but to fight as Giselle's personal magic weapon -- a Shadowblade -- and she's lethally good at it. But her skills are about to be put to the test as they never have before.... The ancient Guardians of the earth are preparing to unleash widespread destruction on the mortal world, and they want the witches to help them. If the witches refuse, their covens will be destroyed, including Horngate, the place Max has grudgingly come to think of as home. Max thinks she can find a way to help Horngate stand against the Guardians, but doing so will mean forging dangerous alliances -- including one with a rival witch's Shadowblade, who is as drawn to Max as she is to him -- and standing with the witch she despises. Max will have to choose between the old life she still dreams of and the warrior she has become, and take her place on the side of right -- if she survives long enough to figure out which side that is....

A humorous handbook for witches, providing instruction in areas such as spells, superstitions, recipes, gardening, and glamour.
