She has no friends. All the kids go out the back door to school. Some kids go over the hill to school, and some go through the forest to school. Elizabeth goes through the woods. She looked up and saw a girl named Jennifer. Jennifer jumped out of a tree and ran so fast it didn`t look like she touched the ground. Jennifer took a book from the library. It was a spell book. It had ointments that make you fly, and that change you into an animal and that kill people. I liked the part when they told me that one of the girls was a witch. A couple of magical things happen.
Rating: ![5 stars](http://www.reviewfocus.com/images/stars-5-0.gif) Summary: The Best Book I Ever Read Review: I think this is a great book because Jennifer pretends to be a witch and Elizabeth wants to be a witch also. So they do all this witch type stuff.At the end of the story it says that Jennifer wasn't really a witch after all.It shows little kids to be who they really are and not something or someone else and it sets a lot of examples for little kids.

I would love to have toad named Hilary Ezra.My favorite part was when Jenifer left a note saying to eat a rotten egg for a whole week. My 2nd favorite part was when Jenifer and Elizabeth went to the park to do witchcraft. My 3rd favorite part was when Jenifer dressed up as a Pilgrim

Review: My mother bought me this book for my 8th Christmas and it remains a favorite to this day. In it I found a sympathetic character in Elizabeth, the protagonist of this story. I could well sympathize with her inability to make friends easily (I had that same challenge) and agonizing over her small stature. I had the opposite problem -- I always thought I was abnormally tall until I reached my maximum height of 5'4", which is NOT tall for any adult!It was an interesting coming together of these two loners, Elizabeth and Jennifer. I think the whole "witchcraft" thing was to a large extent, childhood wishful thinking and playacting and the natural wish to distinguish oneself among one's peers. I loved this book and delighted in the antics of the two girls. Elizabeth's nemesis, the phony, duplicitous Cynthia is easily recognizable. I had to endure my share of "Cynthias" growing up and I can remember thinking how laughably clueless adults were to the phony, smarmy charm such creeps like Cynthia oozed. I thought it was mean of Elizabeth's mother to make her attend Cynthia's birthday party and to constantly sing Cynthia's praises to her. That certainly did not help Elizabeth's esteem. I could relate to that because my mother used to sing the praises of other people's children to me. I can remember telling her time and again, "She's/They're just pretending to be nice because YOU'RE here. I can't just walk up to kids and make friends." It was only after I had become an adult myself that I realized that my mother and her peers were not as susceptible to the smarmy Cynthias as I had been led to believe. It was in recent years that she has told me that she knew all along what sneaky, miserable little wretches those "Cynthias" were and that she was "friendly to them in the hopes they'd be nicer to me" whether she was present or not. How wonderful it would have been to have told me that in the first place! I would have known she was an ally then instead of easily misled by other people's children! This book is an eye opener for all ages. I still laugh uproariously over the way Elizabeth ate a raw onion per Jennifer's direction for a week. Her bizarre eating habits paid off -- I loved it when her onion breath scared nasty Cynthia who ran off the stage during a school play. I also loved the way she fixed Cynthia's wagon at Cynthia's birthday party by challenging her phony charm. Each time Cynthia oohed and aahed over a gift and asked who it was from, Elizabeth would call out the name of the giver, thus spoiling Cynthia's fun. I cheered when Elizabeth stepped on nasty Cynthia's foot when the latter stuck her tongue out at her when she left the party. I remember at 8 thinking, "Elizabeth, you don't need Cynthia. One of these days she'll get it." Many years later, I wanted to say, "Just remember, there is life after elementary/middle school. Creeps like Cynthia may have one a battle or two, but they won't win the war. I hope you see Cynthia fall flat on her phony face." It is a delightful treasure trove of memories and a book well worth reading at any age. I still love it and I have my original hard back copy that I got when I was eight.

Konigsburg is excellent at her craft. She never preaches or talks down to her young readers. No wonder her books are so timeless. This book is over 30 years old, and it still stands up. A classic in children's lit.
