The Witches of Worm by Zilpha Keatley Snyder

3.0

---

This book is about a sad, lonely, somewhat angry girl named Jessie who rescues an ugly abandoned cat, which sets off a strange chain of events she believes has its root in witchcraft. The cat, who she names Worm, does not look or behave like a normal cat. Pretty quickly after obtaining him, Jessie also starts to engage in unusual, not very nice, behavior. The book is very creepy. Although Jessie commits some morally questionable acts, you can't help but like her and feel sorry for her. An enjoyable read if you like books with a paranormal twist.
