Editorial Reviews

05/01/2015
Gr 2–5—When Salem decides that the "Dinosaurs Alive" exhibit at the museum is misleadingly named, the young witch rectifies things, bringing statues of prehistoric creatures to all-too-vivid life. When she comes across a baby velociraptor, she knows the success of her science project is assured, but her talking feline sidekick Whammy's not so sure. Fans of the likes of "Calvin and Hobbes" will inhale this comic strip-style graphic novel series. Mischievous and impulsive, Salem is a Calvin-esque heroine for the next generation, and the book is pure gleeful fun, laced with heart and some food for thought.
