Publisher Description
From the World's No. 1 Storyteller, The Witches is a children's classic that has captured young reader's imaginations for generations.
This is not a fairy tale. This is about real witches.
Grandmamma loves to tell about witches. Real witches are the most dangerous of all living creatures on earth. There's nothing they hate so much as children, and they work all kinds of terrifying spells to get rid of them. Her grandson listens closely to Grandmamma's stories—but nothing can prepare him for the day he comes face-to-face with The Grand High Witch herself!
APPLE BOOKS REVIEW
Take one mischievous child, add a handful of wicked adults, flavor it all with Roald Dahl’s wondrous imagination, and you have delicious fun. A clever orphan boy and his doting grandmother are staying at a lovely seaside hotel—where it just so happens that England’s nasty, child-hating witches are holding their annual convention. The sorceresses’ only item of business: eradicating every last British boy and girl. We love how Dahl isn’t afraid to pack major chills into his books (like the witches’ dastardly plan to turn kids into mice who’ll be exterminated by their own parents!). As Dahl’s nameless seven-year-old hero sets out to put a stop to the witches, the adventure picks up steam. Even if you’ve seen the movie adaptations of The Witches, you don’t want to miss out on all the charming, witty details in this timeless read. Spoiler alert: This one might even be better than Charlie and the Chocolate Factory!
