Mrs. Porter has a black cat named Midnight and always seems to be working in her garden. Karen isn&#8217;t supposed to spy on her neighbor, but she&#8217;s determined to prove that Mrs. Porter is a witch named Morbidda Destiny!<\/p>\n<p>Mrs. Porter is getting ready to have a special meeting at her house, and Karen is sure the meeting is for witches. Are they going to cast a spell on Karen? Or will she be brave enough to send them away &#8212; once and for all?<\/p>\n<p><strong>{My thoughts} \u2013 <\/strong> It is absolutely important for you to have read the other Baby Sitter Club Graphic Novels and or books to understand the characters in this book. Karen is Kristy&#8217;s younger Step-sister and she has one entertaining imagination. She has it in her head that their next door neighbor Mrs. Porter is a witch. She believes this so much so that she has scared herself and isn&#8217;t able to sleep well at night. She also obsesses over the concept and continually spies on Mrs. Porter. <\/p>\n<p>One night she swears she saw Mrs. Porter and her cat fly into the night on a broom stick. Another day she swears she learned about a witch meeting that is suppose to take place at Mrs. Porter&#8217;s house. She takes everything she hears to a whole different level within her imagination. <\/p>\n<p>I can see how a child can have such an imagination once they get certain things caught in their heads. It was fun to read where the story went. I look forward to reading more books in this series in the future. <\/p>\n<p><strong>Final Conclusion:<\/strong> 5 Star Rating. <\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/www.zapkodemarie.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/signature-300x114.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"300\" height=\"114\" class=\"aligncenter size-medium wp-image-9555\" srcset=\"http:\/\/www.zapkodemarie.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/signature-300x114.png 300w, http:\/\/www.zapkodemarie.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/signature.png 329w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>{Synopsis} \u2013 A fresh and fun graphic novel series spin-off of The Baby-sitters Club, featuring Kristy&#8217;s little stepsister!
