There are good witches and bad witches, but the law says that all witches must be burned at the stake. So when an anonymous note warns, "Someone in this class is a witch," the students in 6B are nervous—especially the boy who's just discovered that he can cast spells and the girl who was named after the most famous witch of all. Witch Week features the debonair enchanter Chrestomanci, who also appears in Charmed Life, The Magicians of Caprona, and The Lives of Christopber Chant. Someone in the class is a witch. At least so the anonymous note says. Everyone is only too eager to prove it is someone else—because in this society, witches are burned at the stake.

The Horn Book
January 1, 1993
As in many of her other stories, Jones develops her narrative on the basis of an unusual, imaginative supposition: that witchcraft in a parallel-world, contemporary England is prevalent but punishable by burning. When one of the teachers at a government boarding school for 'witch-orphans and children with other problems' finds a note implicating someone in the class as a witch, preposterous and magical events begin to occur. Entertaining and hilariously funny.(Copyright 1993 by The Horn Book, Incorporated, Boston. All rights reserved.)
