Summary: A perfect scary kid's book
Comment: Another spooky tale, but with more spook, this book is the story of a little boy who discovers the nefarious plan of a group of witches to finally rid the world of children once and for all. It might be a little much for younger children, but older ones will likely enjoy the creepy undertone.
Customer Rating:

Summary: For Readers Who Just Wanna' Have Fun
Comment: Adult readers, please shut off your reality and turn on your imagination; please read Roald Dahl's THE WITCHES. It's written for 7-12 year olds, but I guarantee you'll also have fun with it.
My favorite lines pinched my nostrils together when I read them. "I ... ran into The Grand High Witch's bedroom. There was the same musty smell about the place that I had noticed in the Ballroom [a witches' meeting]. It was the stench of witches. It reminded me of the smell inside the men's public lavatory at our local railway-station."
Pee-ew! That's some stench!

Summary: another great Dahl story!
Comment: This story has three parts: the first - scary and gruesome, the second - funny, full of adventure and predictable, the third - warm, unexpected and full of promise and excitement.
What stays with me is the love between the grandson and the grandmother - they fully accept one another despite their differences and they enthusiastically enjoy life and each other.
The ending is left open for the imagination - not taken to a close like so much these days where nothing is left to ponder upon.

Summary: A Gem
Comment: 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!!!!
