For Prudence Stewart, sixteen, leaving behind her home and school in Beverly Hills to move to Salem, Massachusetts, is more than just an inconvenience. She's worked for years to get where she is--which is near the top of the Beverly Hills High School popularity list. Right before she was to be named the youngest head cheerleader ever, her parents announced the move to Salem. It seems that Pru's younger brother, Dorklock (or, if you prefer, Tobias), needs to...more

Prudence Stewart could not be more angry with her little brother. When he hit puberty, he lost control of his magic, so now Pru's parents are forcing her to leave all of her friends, her cheerleading squad, and her school to move to Salem, Massachusetts. All so 'Dorklock' can go to witching school.
But Prudence doesn't want to have anything to do with magic. She has always just wanted to have a normal life, and her parents have spent ages drumming into her head that she shouldn't, couldn't us...more

Prudence is a straight A student, captain of the cheerleading team, and "was" the girlfriend of the cutest guy at Beverly Hills HIgh. But one day her mom tells her that she's a witch and that she is moving to where she grew up. Prudence's mom is trying her best to get the good out of moving(with the indoor pool, letting her choose her room, and more). There was one time where she told her best friend that she was a witch and her mom had to brainwash her mind. Prudence grew up not being...more

Pru is devasted when she learns that because her brother can't control his magic, they all have to move back to the Northeast and attend her mother's witch school. So she concocts a brilliant plan to become just as popular as she was at her old school by joining the cheerleading team here too, not realizing that her magic classes might be too much for her to keep up with.

The Salem Witch Tryouts by Kelly McClymer is a fantastic book that gives a great twist to normal stories about witches and wizards. Although the characters are made up the author did a wonderful job of making them come to life and jump right off of the page. The book is an amazing story and a fantastic way to spend a rainy day. -YSO

Very fluffy and reminded me a lot of Sky High the movie, but great for the teen girls that would have been into Buffy or Charmed. The book leaves off feeling very unfinished but there is a sequel. Not sure it can really sustain a series... I have to get it ILL since WCPL wouldn't buy it!

I enjoyed this book. It is cute. Prudence and her family is moving from away from California to Massachutes since her brother came into his power can not control them. Alot of this book made me laugh with Prudence and majic, and how her brother couldn't control his.

A puff piece. Light, entertaining, no depth. It's like Harry Potter meets Bring it On. This was recommended to me in a "what's new in adolescent literature" class.

This book was pretty good. I liked how even though it was a book about witches, it also focused on regular girly stuff like romance, clothes, and popularity.

Makes me think of what it might have been like if the Bewitched show was still on and Tabitha was going to highschool.
