Oh moon so full, round, SILEO Snitch rank ileo h and bright ......Oh moon so full, round, and bright, we beg one favor of you tonight. For witches who tattle, witches who snitch, tie

Wanda Witch is a snitch. And Winnie and William and all the other witches at Camp Spellbound can only take so much! Will

the snitchy witch find out on her own that she needs to stop snitching? Or will her friends need to use

their magical powers to get Wanda to quit?

This bewitching read is a tale about tattling and

telling, but also about being a good friend. Includes a

Note to Grown-Up Witches that discusses snitchy behavior and why little witches like to snitch

(and when that is perfectly fine to do)!
