SOO GOOD!!! submitted by downing on July 25, 2015, 7:10pm I remember when my mom read this to me as a kid. It's so scary and so fun!
The Witches by Roald Dahl submitted by Fevvers - STAR473 on July 10, 2016, 4:48am This was a scary and delightful one. I really appreciate the folklore Dahl cobbled together and invented about the witches and how they could be thwarted. Reading it as kids, we tried to pretend it didn't really frighten us, but it sure did. But we loved it, and hatched our own witch-thwarting schemes, just in case!
Witches submitted by gdweintraub on July 15, 2016, 7:15am Think they are scary when they are hilarious.
Great submitted by Bookeepers on August 1, 2018, 3:07pm My five year old and I have read this a few times now. He loves the story!
Wonferful submitted by majean on August 17, 2018, 12:44pm Loved this book as a kid! Even if that isn't what modern witches are like, I enjoy the fairytale kind, as well.
Classic submitted by lstorc on August 27, 2018, 2:46pm This classic is enjoyed by people of all ages, even though it has become somewhat dated.

Bad & Sad
submitted by Susan C on January 7, 2021, 10:59am
The story has a typical Roald Dahl ending... not very satisfying.
Still, the boy makes the best of a bad situation. I won't read it again.
Held my 11 year olds attention! submitted by leah karr on August 19, 2022, 1:06pm My 11 year old is not an avid reader...makes me sad. Anyway, this book held his attention and he read longer than his required reading time when reading this!
