WITCH HIGH is a fun anthology that takes place at Salem Township Public High School #4, aka Witch High. Using the theme of the high school, each story weaves another piece of the fabric that is the history behind the school. The stories all reveal that even those with magical powers suffer the same struggles in high school as the non-magical kids. There are bullies, there is heartbreak, there are cliques, and so much more.

Containing fourteen different stories, each author takes on a different idea and uses their imagination to create unique situations for their characters. Not reading much paranormal fiction personally, I will admit that none of the authors were known to me. But that did not hinder my enjoyment of the stories. As with most anthologies, I found that some of the stories spoke to me more than some of the others, but overall, they were all a treat to enjoy.

Pick up WITCH HIGH and you will find out what happens when a fire elemental likes someone who is interested in them back...sparks really do fly! Discover the creative punishment that is inflicted on a student who wreaks havoc on the school and has to pay back the guidance counselor in full. And see what sort of hidden magic a girl with seemingly no magical ability at all can grow.

These are just three of the wonderful stories included in the book. I'd wave my wand over everyone and make them read this book as well, but alas, I truly have no special abilities. At least, none of mine have manifested yet!

While I don't generally enjoy anthologies, this one was all right. Only a few of the stories ended leaving you wanting more. For the most part, everyone wrapped up their story satisfactorily and didn't leave any loose ends hanging out there.
This book would definitely have been better if all the authors had agreed upon a time frame, major character names (i.e. principal, counselors) and worked from there. That would have added a cohesion this book was noticeably lacking from the very start.

YA anthology with 14 stories involving students from Salem Township Public High School #4 AKA Witch High. Cute read for a stormy day. Nothing terribly memorable. 3 stars
