Before there were spells and sandwiches, there was a witch and her wolfhound. Poppy's uncontrollable mind-reading magic makes her an outcast in the Manhattan magical community, but when an enchanted statue is stolen from an exclusive organization of witches, she's recruited to track down the thief. With the help of her beloved Irish wolfhound and an old friend from out of town, Poppy must follow the clues through magical New York-a mysterious lab, a fake date, and the heart of an old neighborhood-to solve the mystery of the dancing statue! This prequel is part of the West Side Witches series, and is best read any time after Spells and Sandwiches. Previously published as Mystery of the Dancing Statue.
