The Witches of Worm is a 1972 young adult novel by Zilpha Keatley Snyder. In it a lonely pre-teen girl, the protagonist Jessica, finds a blind, almost hairless cat that she names Worm. A reclusive elderly neighbor helps her to raise it. Worm seems to have a terrible hold on Jessica, and it is suggested the cat possesses her to do mean and destructive things to her friends and her somewhat childish and emotionally-distant divorced mother. Jessica comes to believe Worm is being possessed by a group of witches that includes her elderly neighbor. Jessica’s destructive actions escalate until her mother attempts to send her counseling. Enraged by this suggestion, Jessica runs away.

It is left to the reader to decide if in fact anything actually supernatural is going on.

This book has a history of being banned from school libraries because of its focus on the subject of witchcraft, the description of visions/nightmares Jessica experiences, and it’s protagonists disturbing inner monologues with Worm/herself.
outline of story:
Jessica and her mother live in an apartment. Jessica's mom is always saying she's a bad mom. One day Jessica finds a cat and takes it in. It looked like a worm so that's what she called him. Worm talks to Jessica. He makes her do evil things. He makes her tell someone that there is a robber outside. Worm also makes Jessica push her old friend, Brandon's, trumpet out the window.
From what she knows, Jessica thinks Worm must be a witch's cat. Jessica asks an old woman that lives in her apartment for help. The lady is a witchy type. She gives Jessica a spell to get the demon out of Worm. Jessica trys the spell, but Worm escapes. Jessica runs after him. Brandon sees her and follows. They catch Worm, but he isn't moving. Then he wakes up. He is fine and the demon was out./

dont plagiarize.
why didn't you do the reading , huh?
well the best you can do is go to spark notes, cliff notes or whatever and try to produce something from there.

here is a technique...its called rambling. Take about stuff related to the book and that could help.

Can't help. If you read the book like you were supposed to, you wouldn't have to ask this question.
