“Witches Don't Do Backflips” includes four main characters two boys Eddie and Howie, two girls named Liza and Melody.

This is the tenth book in the The Adventures of the Bailey School Kids series. We've only read a few of them so far, but our oldest really likes them. We won't likely read these books in order, but it doesn't seem to matter much. It's a fun story and we like the fact that all of the strange characters may or may not be the "monsters" they are portrayed to be. We are looking forward to reading more books in this series.

The Bailey School Kids is a best-selling children's book series by Marcia Thornton Jones and Debbie Dadey. Its main characters are a group of four children (Eddie, Howie, Liza, Melody) who suspect some persons in the stories are popular folk lore or fairy tale characters. They are appealing because they mix a familiar story in with this group of kids. Mid-grammar school

i used to read these books alot when i was little but now i just read them sometimeswhen i'm board or something u still think there pretty good i mean they don't have to much mystery in it but it was cute like the other books it was a very fast read but still a nice story 4 kids

I thought this was a cute book. It was quite quick to read...I thought I would read a few kids books before my kids arrive...so I read 6 in 1 day...does wonders for my book numbers. Not deep nor very mystery-ish...kids would like it.

The kids thought that there was something suspicious about the lady but they did not know that she was a witch. They thought the ginger bread house was for Christmas and I thought it was to get little kids.

A silly series that creates more questions than it answers. It's great for formulating theories as well as predictions. The class dynamics should be very familiar to those of the Magic School Bus generation.
