Synopsis

As they begin fifth grade, Rupert and Amelia discover that their teacher, Miss Switch, is a witch. Using his scientific mind, Rupert helps her solve a spooky dilemma. In return, the witch teaches Rupert and Amelia some magic. But soon Miss Switch disappears, and another teacher takes her place. One night that winter, a dark figure delivers a strange bottle to the children. Scientific curiosity leads Rupert to take the cork out. Suddenly, the bottle releases an ugly demon, Mordo, who plans to kidnap a whole class from Pepperdine Elementary School. Only a witch, only Miss Switch, can stop him. How can they contact her? Barbara Brooks Wallace's two novels, The Trouble With Miss Switch and Miss Switch to the Rescue have had lasting popularity with young adults across the country. The stories were also made into an animated Weekend Special for television. Narrator Jeff Woodman's performance adds extra drama to the adventures of the unforgettable witch and her young friends.
