Prudence Stewart’s life in Beverly Hills is turned upside-down when her family moves to Salem, Massachusetts, so they can once again embrace their cultural heritage: as powerful witches. Now Prudence has to cope with an entire school of people light-years ahead of her in talent and skill, and all she has to bring to the game is a familiarity with mundane ways, and a heck of a cheerleading routine. Is victory achieved through pom-poms and backflips? Around here, it is! This was an entertaining tale that doesn’t take itself too seriously as it merges an insular Harry Potter-esque magical subculture with modern pop culture sensibilities.
