“I really wish I'd read more Roald Dahl as a child. I would have enjoyed it much more, I think. My only previous reading of him had been the two Charlie books and James. This was a cute little book, but this is an instance where the intended age range is an impediment for my enjoyment. Mostly this seemed to drag quite a bit for me. I will certainly save it for Em to read in the future, though”

“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.”

“The witches in this book wore wigs and pointed shoes to hide their bald heads and square feet with no toes! The witches in this book had eyes that changed colours, and were mean and mischivious. The witches in this book where cruel to children and turned them into mice. They live in a castle in Norway. The other characters in this story are a grandmother, her 7-year-old grandson, and the grandson's friend, Bruno. The witches were having a meeting in the hotel where the others where staying. The witches turned the children into mice, but in the end the children get even.

“This book is one of mt favorite of Roald Dahl. I think all of his stories are filled with imaginations. I think these witches in the book is the grossest witches i've ever heard of it. I recommend this book to everybody!”
