In 2024, Salem — the witch girl personification of Salem, Massachusetts — dreams of creating a magical school system across all fifty American states. There’s just one problem: America is far too big, strange, and complicated to understand from books alone. Determined to research it properly, Salem sets off on a cross-country journey across the United States on her broomstick, visiting cities, meeting other personified places, and discovering just how wildly different America can be from state to state. From New England diners to Florida hurricanes, from college football rivalries to snowstorms in the Midwest, Salem’s magical road trip slowly turns into something much bigger than a fantasy story outline. Cover art was AI-generated using ChatGPT. The novel text itself was written by the author.
