Summary: The Witches
Comment: PATRICK MOLLOY
THE WITCHES
BY ROALD DAHL
Viking Press
October 2, 2003
The author, Roald Dahl, writes books about villains who hate children. In "THE BFG" giants ate children, in "Matilda", the principal is always brutally punishing children, and in "The Enormous Crocodile", the crocodile loves eating children. Now Roald Dahl has made the ultimate child-hating monsters, disguised mysterious demons called the witches.Now a boy has seen one of the witches' top secret meetings and almost escapes normally before getting caught and being turned into a mouse, but then escapes getting stomped on and then rushes back to his grandmother, a retired expert on witches. They together make a plan to stop the witches from turning all the children in England into mice. There has also been another victim of the "mouse maker" formula, Bruno Jenkins, who's parents hate mice, have a cat, and will probably never be convinced that their son has been turned into a mouse.
The witches in this book dress like ordinary women and look like ordinary women, but under their gloves, shoes, and wigs they are bald, toeless, have claws, blue spit, and a terrible hatred for children. They make the children disappear in strange ways, such as turning them into animals, paintings, statues, food, and other terrible things.They never murder or poison children, because that would mean getting caught, and witches never get caught. The other characters include the narrator( the boy who observed the meeting) who's name is never mentioned, his Grandmother, who's Norweigan, knows a lot about witches and smokes a big cigar and takes care of the boy .There is also a boy named Bruno Jenkins who is always eating and bragging about how rich his dad is.
The Witches is a great fiction book . It's fun and scary for kids.
. I would recommend this book to kids who like horror, suspense, and excitement, and has an exciting triumph at the end. If you're one of those people, start reading it, because it's great.After "The Witches" I would encourage you to read even more books by Roald Dahl, such as the enourmous crocodile, the BFG, and Matilda, but I think "The Witches" is the best.

Summary: Never got bored
Comment: Can you recognize a witch? "The Witches" by Roald Dahl tells how to be able to recognize a witch. As a child I wondered if witches were real, so this was a great book for me to read. I really liked it because it is adventurous and full of fantasy. A young boy gets to experience magic first hand when he is turned into a mouse. The physical description of witches is very detailed and imaginative. The story takes place in Europe. I never got bored or felt like the story was too slow, so it was hard for me to put the book down. I actually felt like I was the main character. I loved it. With only 208 pages and some pictures, this book is a must read!!

Summary: The Book comes ALIVE>>>>>>>>
Comment: This book was wonderfully constructed & thought out and later
became one of my favorite movies, starring Angelica Houston as
the Grand High Witch and she plays it like no one else could! If you can't get ahold of a copy of this book, rent the movie!!!!
Both are fun, a little scary and an outrageous romp. Enjoy!
