This story is about “real witches” – who dress in ordinary clothes, look like ordinary women, but loathe all children. The seven-year-old hero and his grandmother are pitted against them at a witches convention, at which the witches are plotting to exterminate every child in England.

    i dont know if these books should be in a school library but good reading.

  • Myrrah

    I thought this book was really cool, and quite funny, Roald Dahl has
    such a fantastic knack for describing the most vile things :)

    I thought the movie was really great too..maybe not for the young young viewer

    iam not into witches and when the school teacher recommened my
    daughter to read this book i was not impressed. Roald Dahl is an
    excellent author but this book should not be read aloud in class.

    My daughter loves this book her school wont keep this in the library but a good story to read.

  • Robynsnest

    I love this book. Saw the movie also and loved it too. I wouldn’t recommend either to the younger kids though.

  • Amyf

    I can’t believe people are writing this book shouldn’t be in the school
    library. My primary school teacher read this book to my class when I was
    about 9 years old now 25yrs. It was a very memerable, fun book it
    really bought out our imaginations.

    The movie is a little scary though.
