An eight-grade bully named Gwendolyn opened her witchcraft box and looked at the nest of hair she had stolen from her cousin Skylar Robbins’s brush. She planned to use the teen sleuth's locks in a revenge spell: Maybe giving Skylar a giant patch of hairy warts. A year of horrendous dog breath. And loud, unstoppable farts whenever Skylar was around a cute boy! Unfortunately, Gwendolyn had skimmed the instructions, and missed a very important step.With the help of a friendly wizard, Gwendolyn also performed a beautifying spell on herself. But she ignored the old wizard’s warning: “Don’t let your ego turn you nasty. Or the spell will slowly reverse. Or worse.” By the time school started, Gwendolyn had turned pretty—on the outside. In English, a classmate began his presentation and his nerves got the best of him. After the first paragraph, he stumbled, stopped, and went silent. “I lost my place,” Rudy admitted, fumbling with his notes, and Gwendolyn laughed loudly.The boy sitting next to her and one row up turned around and gaped at her. “Wow. Nasty,” he mumbled.“And?” Gwendolyn snapped. Then she shouted, “Ouch!” grabbing her thigh as a splotch of hairy warts exploded painfully onto her skin. A stinky mist burst into the room.“Ugh!” Ken King exclaimed suddenly, staring at Gwendolyn. “No way—are those turd farts coming out of you?”“What are you talking about?” she retorted. “I’m not farting,” she said weakly. Gwendolyn did, in fact, feel particularly gassy.“Or is that your breath?” Rock asked. He covered his nose and mouth and gagged. “It smells like—horrendous dog breath!”What?! Gwen cupped her hand over her mouth, hoped no one was looking, and huffed hotly into her palm. Sniffed it and almost fell off her chair in disgust. OMG. She gasped. That smells disgusting. It does smell like horrendous dog breath!Oh, no, she thought. This can’t be happening.Gwendolyn’s Revenge is a fantasy novella that is a standalone read, and a mini-sequel to Skylar Robbins: The Mystery of Shadow Hills."Wonderful book about life lessons and consequences. The magic in it makes it extra fun and entertaining." —5-Star Amazon Review
