Short description
They should have known not to nose around. Outside, the house smelled of rotten cabbage, burnt onions and wet dogs. Inside, there was no phone, no television, not so much as a single electric light. Carlin and Jack didn’t like the place, but all they had to do was water plants while the owner was away. No one told them to discover the house’s biggest secret: science and magic don’t mix.Extended description
“An original and entertaining novel”,Midwest Book Review.Carlin and Jack agreed to water some plants for a neighbor while he was away. That's when they discovered that the house smelled of rotten cabbage, burnt onions and wet dogs, while inside there was no phone, no tv, and not even a single electric light. Still, that wasn't to be their biggest surprise -- not when they entered and discovered that science and magic don't mix! Michael J. Martineck's The Misspellers is an original and entertaining novel which is especially recommended for young readers ages 9 to 12.
"Within two pages, I was captivated" Aphelion Web-zine
The book is perfect for all intermediate readers, but especially successful with reluctant ones.

on Aug. 06, 2010 :
The beginning was a bit slow but once the MC started to nose around the weird house, the story took off. From then on, it was fun to read. There are still some spelling mistakes that need attention (especially toward the end of the book) and the trouble from the beginning could be tied in a bit more with the end. Other than that, its a good book.
