I read a book sometime in the late 70s\/early 80s that was purchased from my school through a flyer or book fair. It was a chapter book that may have had an illustration or two. Best I can remember, a girl is spending her summer break maybe in a new home or at a relative\u2019s home. It seems like the summer may have been rainy and she was exploring the house. She found something in a basement or cellar that was either magical or had to do with witchcraft. She experimented with the magic but it seemed to turn out badly and there was an explosion or climactic event in the basement. In the end, all was resolved with a pleasant ending. I don\u2019t remember the book centering on any other characters so only one main female child. I don\u2019t remember the title or the cover but I have a vague recollection of orange and purple on it. Here\u2019s hoping someone remembers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
