Book Description:
Meet a hero, a wise old grandmother, and the most gruesome, grotesque gang of witches imaginable! Roald Dahl is one of the most beloved storytellers of all time, and his books have been children's favorites for generations. Puffin is proud to offer a strong new look for nine of our classic Roald Dahl titles. The distinctive cover treatment, with new art by Quentin Blake, will make these books easily recognizable. In addition, Quentin Blake's funny, quirky illustrations now appear in all of the books. So turn the page and you'll be sure to have a Dahl-ectable summer!

Karla B. (Dahl at his subversive best. Children fight witches, witches torment children, and one boy's bravery saves the day. I can't begin to guess how many times I've read this book since I was a child. It never gets old, and Dahl's cutting humor goes down to the bare bone and made me gasp and laugh. And I have to wonder if a kid's book where a grandma proudly smokes cigars would ever make it past the publisher today!
Jessica D. (Grandmamma loves to tell about witches. Real witches are the most dangerous of all living creatures on earth. There's nothing they hate so much as children, and they work all kinds of terrifying spells to get rid of them. Her grandson listens closely to Grandmamma's stories - but nothing can prepare him for the day he comes face to face with the Grand Hich Witch herself!
Sarah R. (Roald Dahl cannot write a bad book. The Witches is no exception! I've loved all of his books, since I started with Charlie and the Chocolate Factory. They're great!
A fast-moving, well-paced adventure that children will love.
It's a very quick and enjoyable read. If you like the book, you should rent the movie that was based on the book. Follows the book very well.
this is a great book for kids. he makes you almost beleive that there really are witches!!
Suzanne B. (Roald Dahl has a way of keeping his reader hooked. Good plot, great characters, if you enjoyed the movie, you'll enjoy the book.
