Eleven-year-old David is about to meet his new stepsister, Amanda, who is only one year older than he is. Amanda arrives at their big old house wearing a huge tattered shawl and carrying a sharp-eyed crow in a cage. She is hardly what David expects. Before long, she introduces David to a strange world of witchcraft and the occult. At first, spells and potions are fun. He enjoys the spooky chants and smoky seances. Even his younger brother and sisters join in, making sure their parents suspect nothing. But when rocks of all sizes start flying around the house and strange things go crash in the night, David begins to fear the strange forces at work. Zilpha Keatley Snyder has written several popular children's books. A former teacher, she lives in an old house similar to the one in The Headless Cupid. She thinks it, too, may have a resident ghost. Whether you believe in spirits or not, this Newbery Honor Book is sure to captivate your imagination

      Poltergeists, seances and the supernatural arrive simultaneously with David's new stepsister, Amanda. No one is prepared for the chaos that ensues at Westerly House, particularly level-headed David, with his well developed sense of responsibility. Johnny Heller, with a voice slightly nasal and decidedly young, offers a solid performance of this Newbery Honor Book. His delivery of the dialogue involving David's young siblings is especially endearing despite the absence of voicing. Heller's slow, deliberate reading allows the humor and excitement of the text to determine the response of the listener. T.B. (c)AudioFile, Portland, Maine
