Witches Don't Do Backflips — Marcia T. Jones; Debbie Dadey

There are some pretty weird grown-ups living in Bailey City. But could the new gymnastics teacher really be a witch reciting rhyming spells?

The Bailey School Kids are going to find out!

"Think about it," Eddie said. "It all adds up: a broom, a black cat, strange rhymes that come true, and backflips that look like she's flying."

"It adds up to what?" Liza asked.

Eddie slapped the table. "Don't you guys get it? Miss Brewbaker's a witch."

Liza and Melody broke into a fit of giggles. "That cold milk froze Eddie's brain." Melody snickered. "Witches don't teach gymnastics."

"And they definitely don't do backflips," Liza added.
