Publisher Comments:
The young hero of this award-winning story learns that lesson in a hurry when he encouters a whole gruesome gang of them. He'll need all his wits about him to foil their wicked scheme — a dastardly plot to rid the world of children forever!
"A real witch is easily the most dangerous of all the living creatures on earth." But, if real witches disguise themselves as nice, ordinary ladies rather than flying around on broomsticks in pointy hats, how can you tell when you're face to face with one? Read this story and you'll find out all you need to know. You'll also meet a real hero, a wise old grandmother, and the most gruesome, grotesque gang of witches imaginable!

It's one of my favourite books.I have read a 1000 times. It's incredible. Roald Dahl is awesome.
I think that the way he gets the characters views from is incredible. I just wanna read more and more and more. I wanna know what happens when they go to the witches headquarters and continue on their witch destroying plan.
