The Witches Review
The title of the book is "The Witches." The author is Roald Dahl. The reason I like this book is because this book has action in it. This takes place in a hotel. The main theme is the grandmother and the boy Luke trying to destroy all the Grand High Witches. I hope you enjoy this book!
The Witches Overview
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!
The Witches Specifications
This Roald Dahl classic tells the scary, funny and imaginative tale of a seven-year-old boy who has a run-in with some real-life witches! "In fairy tales witches always wear silly black hats and black cloaks and they ride on broomsticks. But this is not a fairy tale. This is about REAL WITCHES. REAL WITCHES dress in ordinary clothes and look very much like ordinary women. They live in ordinary houses and they work in ordinary jobs. That is why they are so hard to catch." Witches, as our hero learns, hate children. With the help of a friend and his somewhat-magical grandmother, our hero tries to expose the witches before they dispose of him. Ages 7-12.

Do not allow your children to read this book!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! - Mary -
The premise of this book is the murder of children. In an increasingly violent society it is irresponsible to expose our children needlessly to fears that any and every woman they know could be a witch who seeks to hunt them down and kill them. I have asked my children's school to remove this book from the school library. We do not need reading material that desensitizes our children to the most heinous of crimes.
Great - Mark Diem -
