Palmer, Chris

The Cape Cod Witch and the Pirate's Treasure is the story of the youngest witch on Cape Cod, ElsBeth Amelia Thistle. She is involved in all the normal aspects of growing up. Of course, she's a little different, too. And when Halloween approaches in a sleepy Cape Cod town, she finds a pirate's legend has never quite been forgotten. ElsBeth's adventures are shared with her non-magical but memorable friends, including the local Wampanoag Indians, who are called upon to help resolve an ill-fated and climactic adventure with the notorious pirate, Billy Bowlegs. Some magical friends involved in the action include a mischievous cat, an Indian prince who has been turned into a bullfrog (but sometimes reappears as a prince), some troublesome fairies from the old country, as well as Elsbeth s grandmother, the venerable Hannah Goodspell. This enchanting adventure, with twenty whimsical full-color illustrations by juried fine artist Melanie Therrien, is the first in a series of the chronicles of Cape Cod's youngest witch. 125 pages; recommended for boys and girls ages 8-13. Children ages 5-7 love the story read to them - and adults like it, too!
