A magical, creepy story about a boy called Luke, finding out the dark secrets of the Witches.

In fairy tales witches wear black hats and ride on brooms. Not in this book. Every witch just wears ordinary clothes and lives in ordinary houses but there is a way to spot a witch. Luke couldn’t understand, but now he keeps an eye on every woman he sees. His grandmother told him this. For an example witches always wears gloves over there disgraceful hand and their eyes are the colour purple. There feet are also horrid as well but that’s not it. Witches also wear wigs to hide there horrible bald head. But there is one witch who covers something else. Find out.

I enjoyed this book because it felt like I was Luke. As you read you feel amazed and a bit spooked. Roald Dahl is very good at describing the charactors and buildings. For example, the small black, creature approached it’s prey. My favourite charactor is Luke because he makes the same decisions I would make; such as when he goes into the grand high witches room he sneeks around and he makes the right moves at the right times, just like I would. I really enjoyed reading this book because there are some interesting and tricky words in there.
