The Headless Cupid

The Headless Cupid is by Zilpha Keatley Snyder. When the four Stanley children meet Amanda, their new stepsister, they're amazed to learn that she studies witchcraft. They're stunned to see her dressed in a strange costume, carrying a pet crow, and surrounded by a pile of books about the supernatural. Amanda promises to give them witchcraft lessons. But then strange things start happening in their old house. David suspects Amanda, but is the house really haunted? What is up with the wooden cupid on the stairway - the one with the missing head?

Ratings: 6th grade - 9 out of 10.
