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 Faulkner 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,
Faye 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.
