Adorjan, Carol Madden

A little girl tells what her older sister is able to do that she cannot, but then she relates what she can do, which gets to be more every day.

Is the old lady next door a witch? This and other problems keep Beth busy the rest of the summer in her new home.

The summer was a major BOMB for Beth Carew. First her friend Paul backed out of their pet-sitting business. Next the sweet old Goodalls moved away with their five cats including Copy, Beth's favorite feline. Then some really creepy things started happening--strange noises in the night, toys starting up all by themselves.

When she is orphaned, the star pupil of Miss Minchin's boarding school in London becomes a penniless, friendless ward of the cruel Miss Minchin.

Includes four plays accompanied by advice on music and sound effects, a glossary of radio terms, and a section on director's hand signals.
