A word from Devlin DeGuise:

Perhaps my favorite novel from the master of macabre stories for children. Roald Dahl's The Witches is pitch perfect until the very end when good prevails over evil yet again. How I long for the day when darkness is given a chance to shine.

About The Witches by Roald Dahl:

The hair-raising tale of a young boy who stumbles upon the terrifying world of real-life witches. But these aren't the broomstick-riding, black-hatted figures of fairy tales. These witches lurk in plain sight, concealed beneath ordinary faces, with a singular, sinister mission—to transform all children into mice!

With only his quick wits and the help of his quirky grandmother—a former witch hunter—to rely on, our brave hero must devise a daring plan to stop the witches and face off with their leader, the Grand High Witch herself!
