The Witches
Publisher: Puffin
Real witches disguise themselves as lovely ladies, when secretly they want to squish and squelch all the wretched children they despise. The Grand High Witch of All the World is the worst of them all - and now she has gathered together all the witches of England for an annual conference at the Hotel Magnificent in Bournemouth to plot to eliminate all children. Luckily, one boy and his grandmother know how to recognise these vile creatures, and have a plan to get rid of them for good...
This deliciously dark offering from beloved children's author Roald Dahl is a firm favourite with young readers. Attracting some controversy in terms of its depictions of women, it nonetheless remains a brilliant blend of Dahl's trademark humour with the spine-tingling and scary.

It is good but it is not good for kids who are younger than 9. Also do not watch the movie unless you like scary stuff

Students read this as a class novel and loved it. Dahl creates the magic just as he accomplishes plot, character and enjoyment in all his books.

The book is awesome but disgusting. It's really cruel to turn children into frogs and it's gross how witches are bald. It's a great book and it makes me feel like I am actually watching it up close.

Wow! Thats all I can say. I'm speechless! The Witches is an excellent book with great detail. I loved the deep details about the witches and them pretending to be lovely kind ladies. I loved the Gran in this, so kind and loving to her grandson. Roald Dahl is a fab writer.

These books are ever so exciting to read because he always thinks of brilliant ideas! He also describes the characters really effectivly so you can image them in your head!

I like the description of the witches with bald heads and blue spit. The daring adventurers (well in a kitchen) the little boy goes on to stay away from the witches is very brave. I read it in year 3 but we're reading now in year 5. One of my favorite Roald Dahl books! :)

I read the first half of this book and it was too scary but if you like horror stories it's quite good.

i thought the book is good because, they went to the hotel called hotel Magnificent in bournemouth to plot to elimate all children. Then it sounded like nice and good book and i just enjoyed reading the book really but the characters are good. i'm going to read more books beacuse they are really interesting to read , The book is good but more fun as well.
