When a series of high school pranks get out of hand, teen witch
Faye Faulkner is the only one who can solve the case in this spooky
YA graphic novel Faye Faulker isn't popular, and that's just fine
by her. She spends her lunches at the Loser Table with the other
social rejects, aka her best friends, and brushes off the
uninspired taunts from the cool kids. But when lonely freshman Cody
finds her way to Faye's corner of the cafeteria, it sets off a
peculiar chain of events . . . To Cody's surprise, these kids
aren't so bad; an overdramatic theater nerd, a handicapable girl in
a wheelchair, an overweight boy, and Faye, who comes to school
every day dressed like a witch. But it's no costume, Fay really is
a witch! While high school can be hell for many reasons, this year
the ante has been raised when a series of pranks swiftly go from
mischievous to downright dangerous. From the lowliest debate team
nerds to the prom queen, no one is safe, not even the teachers!
When things start to really get out of hand, Cody owns up to Faye:
in a moment of desperation, she signed up for an online challenge
that promises to grant popularity to those who follow the website's
twisted demands. Now Faye is faced with a choice: Reveal her witchy
nature to Cody and help her or stand aside and keep her secret
identity safe. Despite her misgivings, Faye takes on the case, but
will her powers be strong enough to solve this mystery? And will
people ever stop asking her if she puts newts' eyes in her homemade
baked goods? Witch for Hire is a gothic whodunnit about resilience,
magic, and the power of friendship.

about everything, but now she's really got something to grumble
over. Having run out of credit cards, her parents are moving to the
wealthy suburb of Hillsborough, to live rent-free with their creepy
old uncle Aloysius. Courtney is now an outcast among her rich,
snobby classmates. And if that weren't bad enough, the musty,
decrepit old mansion that she now calls home is occupied by
stranger creatures than just her parents or Uncle Aloysius. They
crawl about the house, just out of sight. They crunch bones in the
corner. They climb up on the bed and watch Courtney while she
sleeps. Mom and Dad don't notice them, but Uncle Aloysius calls
them the Night Things.

Odell of Homeland Security is convinced Calpurnia was the victim of
magic, and wants her to join him in his crusade against what he
sees as a conspiracy undermining the country. Odell recruits her as
an undercover asset to infiltrate the world of Courtney Crumrin,
the mysterious teenager who left a trail of unexplained horrors in
Hillsborough, and Courtney's younger brother Will, the strange boy
who appeared out of nowhere. But as she penetrates the world of the
Crumrins, Calpurnia begins to suspect the gap in her memories is
due to her magic being erased. She must ultimately decide between
the world of magic or helping the reactionary agent determined to
eradicate it.
The threat of war between Witches and Vampires means England may no
longer be safe for a young Witch. Hence, Miss Violet Popplewell is
sent abroad under the watchful eye of her great-aunt Vera. Without
so much as a bon voyage party, Violet finds herself a visitor to
the city-state of X, a mysterious place where magic is used openly
and Witches and Vampires live together in harmony. Or at least,
they try to get along. Violet's aunt is shocked to discover that
there are Vampires staying at their pensione and alarmed to note
that one of the undead is a rather handsome young man. An outburst
of hostilities in X thrusts Violet into the young Vampire's arms.
And, much to her dismay, she realizes she may have accidentally
bewitched him with a love charm. Are the emotions that the Vampire
feels true passion or just a slip of the wand?
