Summary

Rupert P. Brown III is a scientist. In his room he has an aquarium experiment, a turtle experiment, and a nutrition experiment (two guinea pigs). But when he starts fifth grade, things happen that he has to label “No known way to prove scientifically.”

The new teacher, Miss Switch, has eyes in the back of her head. She can control spitballs and water fountains. Eventually, Rupert discovers her secret: Miss Switch is a witch. When she asks for his help, however, Rupert will need every bit of his scientific skill to find a solution to her spooky dilemma.

Barbara Brooks Wallace is author of many popular books for children, including Sparrows in the Scullery. In The Trouble with Miss Switch, she creates an adventurous tale where science and witchcraft join forces - with hilarious results. Parents may remember this story as a popular television Weekend Special. In this lively audio production, narrator Jeff Woodman captures the energy of each spirited moment.

À good story, a funny ride for both children and adults

I wouldn’t call the characters exactly likeable or relatable but they are an enjoyable company. This first installment feels like there’s room for improvement so I’m looking forward to reading the following books. I like to test a book before passing it on to my children because some views can be antiquated and not match our values. I do deplore the cliche of the old ugly scary crone for the head witch but overall, it’s a book that acknowledges the bad rep witches get and how unfounded it is so I’m more comfortable with it than the “Witches” by Roald Dahl which really scared my daughter.
