How to Hang a Witch, Adriana Mather, Pan Macmillan
SAM Mather is going through some pretty typical teenage angst with a new home, new school, a hot new neighbour, witch covens… wait, what?
Mystery, witches and mayhem await!
Sam just moved to Salem, home of the witch trials and creepy old houses.
With her father sick in hospital and her grandmother dead, there aren’t many people around to answer her ever-growing list of questions.
The cool kids seem to favour black and come with an ultra-cool nickname “The Descendants”, pity their attitudes match their clothes.

Why does everyone either avoid her or hate her? What feud is no one telling her about?
And there is also that pesky curse that may or may not be linked to her.
With the help of her friendly (and dreamy) neighbour, Jaxon, and his mom, who seems to know more than she ever says, Sam learns about her family and possibly her magic.
This is an absolutely fantastically written YA novel! It is age appropriate but brilliant witch hunting story. Adventure? check! Romance? Check! The supernatural? Check!
If there is one thing you still need to add to your check list is to grab yourself a copy of this book!
