The Witches

This is an excellent book for 3rd grade readers. It is very exciting and keeps my child interested. I recommend this book.

A Gem

I love this book! I was at my cousin's house when she had book club, and having read this many times, I forgot how great it was! Luckily, I chose to read it again, and fell in love for the second time! With characters that only Roahld Dahl himself could come up with, this book is a find. An eccentric grandmother, a curious boy, and evil creatures, this book is masterpiece. One of my favorites in the Dahl collection, thank you to the author!!!!

Disasterously wicked, with a smile

This will continue to be one of the most dazzling examples of children's literature. How can you not love something of so much horror that comes off with such humor and charm?

In classic Dahl fashion, a boy is horrible orphaned to be left with his grandmother, a woman who belives in the dangers of witches.

What follows is a hotel adventure that manages to make witches villainous and yet as properly British as possible.

It's tongue-in-cheek and continuinly clever. I also think it is some of the best imagination Dahl has ever shone.

Lilibet's Favorite Book

I like this book a lot and would recommend it to my friends. I like the part best when the little boy who has been turned into a mouse steals the witches poison and puts it into the witch's cup!

Danielle's Favorite Book

I think this is a really good book. It is mainly about a nine year old boy who has a very sweet grandma and sets off to stop the witches from vanishing all the children. It is not just funny, it is also frightening. The part I like the best if when the witch turns the boy into a mouse.

Would you know a real witch if you saw one?

They don't ride on broomsticks. They don't wear black capes or pointy hats. In fact, they don't look like witches at all. But one thing is certain: A real witch is the most dangerous of all living creatures. So you'd better learn to know one when you see one! The young hero of this award-winning story learns that lesson in a hurry when he encouters a whole gruesome gang of them. He'll need all his wits about him to foil their wicked scheme--a dastardly plot to rid the world of children forever!

Jean Marsh is best known for the role of Rose in Upstairs/Downstairs, the popular television series she co-created.

"A real witch is easily the most dangerous of all the living creatures on earth." But, if real witches disguise themselves as nice, ordinary ladies rather than flying around on broomsticks in pointy hats, how can you tell when you're face to face with one? Listen to this story and you'll find out all you need to know. You'll also meet a real hero, a wise old grandmother, and the most gruesome, grotesque gang of witches imaginable!
