Angsty tween Courtney Crumrin hates everyone, including her new classmates, her parents, and her old-as-dirt uncle Aloysius. But Uncle A has got a few tricks up his sleeve, and they don't involve cards. The man is a warlock, and his magic books are the answers to all of Courtney's problems. Soon Courtney's teaching herself spells to deal with bullies, homework, babysitting, and more—but with every spell she casts, the deeper she gets into a world of magic she doesn't understand.

Praise for COURTNEY CRUMRIN
"Courtney Crumrin genuinely delivers the sense of dread and magic that one looks for in classical tales. Smart, heartfelt, and completely addictive."
- Guillermo del Toro (Pan's Labyrinth, Hellboy)
"Ted's created something wickedly imaginative, yet strangely classic in this creepy world of lovely monsters and hideous people." - Jhonen Vasquez, creator of Invader ZIM
"Courtney Crumrin is the grimmest, bravest, most sarcastic girl in all of comics. I adore her." - Holly Black, New York Times bestselling author of The Spiderwick Chronicles
"Courtney's cute, round face, lack of a nose, sour demeanor ("I'm rude, bad-tempered, and basically, I don't like people") and unwillingness to play the popularity game make her a charming character that kids and savvy parents can snarl together with." Publishers Weekly
