I didn't know what to expect when I started this book. Believe it or not, this is the very first Roald Dahl book that I have experienced. I enjoyed this book tremendously. This chapter book tells a story of a grandma, a grandson, and their journey together is ridding the world of 'real' witches and saving the world's children. I will be reading more of this author for sure. I would recommend this book to everyone. It is a fun read and well worth the experience!

H (is anyone getting notifications) Balikov Is this YA and adult or can younger children read it without nightmares?

Starjustin No, it's a very cute story and anyone, including children, can read this or you could read it to them. I truly enjoyed it and many have told me they read this as a child, just as Matilda. Enjoy!
