Salem is a young witch who can't seem to get her magic under control. Her non-magic parents(?) hire a companion to keep her out of trouble. Whammy, the cat companion, has quite a literary streak to him, some odd ideas of living, and dependable when Salem needs him most.
The most interesting part for me was which classics Cammuso incorporates into the story. Book #1 used Moby Dick, Book #2 used The Gift of the Magi. Book #3 is recently published; can't wait to see what he chose!!

I love that it's the animal sidekick who usually is the most help, even if they don't get the credit for it.
