Beschreibung des Verlags
A young witch’s sweet tooth leads to Halloween mischief in this companion to the New York Times bestselling A Very Brave Witch, which School Library Journal called “a humorous, not-scary-at-all read-aloud.”
It’s Halloween night, and one very brave witch has decided to teach her little sister all about humans and what they enjoy, including some yucky stuff called “candy.” But when it seems the little Witchling thinks candy is yum, her big sister flies off to set her straight—and then she gets stuck in a tree! Good thing the little Witchling isn’t afraid to be brave!
This delightful Halloween tale perfectly pairs with A Very Brave Witch.
PUBLISHERS WEEKLY
Eight years after A Very Brave Witch, McGhee and Bliss return with a companion story that sees the brave heroine of that book educating her younger sister, Witchling, about humans, whom most witches fear. "Study the humans and learn their mysterious ways," the young witch tells her sister in full-on teacher mode. "They love dressing up on Halloween. Especially like us." However, the poison apple doesn't fall far from the tree, and, like her sister, Witchling shows uncommon bravery. She dives headlong into trick-or-treating unlike most witches, Witchling thinks candy is great while her older sister tries to "rescue" her. McGhee's knack for sharp, funny dialogue is a major asset in a story that unfolds entirely through speech and thought balloons. Bliss's ink-and-watercolors illustrations provide plenty of humor, too, especially as Witchling struggles with the massive haul of candy she takes in. Ages 4 8.
