"the witches" book review by ireland and beau

 "the witches"

by roald dahl

This Roald Dahl classic tells 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.

a book review by ireland and beau...

what was your favorite part?

ireland: when the boy is in the treehouse and the witch comes and asks him to come down. 

he remembers that his grandma told him that witches are bald and wear wigs and wear gloves to hide their ugly fingernails and have pointy noses and he recognises that this is a witch so he stays in the treehouse until the witch leaves and then he goes home and tells his grandma.

beau: when they are in the hotel and the witches, 

who hate children, turn him into a mouse. he goes to find his grandma, 

who is a witch hunter and she knows its him. 

she tells him to go put a potion into the soup that the witches are going to eat for dinner and when he sneaks into the kitchen the chef sees him and CUTS OFF HIS TAIL!!! COOL!
