Description
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.

The witches is such an amazing story. I have said it before and I will say it again, Roald Dahl has such a unique way of writing and you just can't compare any other author to his style. The descriptions in this book really do paint a picture in your mind. The way the Witches act and the way the children respond. It's full of suspense and mystery. Still to this very day I can remember said descriptions that build up the whole book. Such a great read.
