This is one of the 14 books I got yesterday at a garage sale in Lake Villa, IL for a quarter. I'll probably save this for release to Halloween trick-or-treaters, unless it finds a home before then.
c. 1983 -- Illustrations by Quentin Blake -- An ALA Notable Book -- A New York Times Book of the Year -- Ages 8-12

Back Cover: 'A REAL WITCH is easily the most dangerous of all the living creatures on earth.' That's a pretty horrifying thought. More horrifying still is that real witches don't even look like witches. They don't ride around on broomsticks. They don't even wear black cloaks and hats. They are vile, despicable, scheming harridans who disguise themselves as nice, ordinary ladies.

So 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!

Release planned for Friday, September 26, 2003 at fellow BookCrosser in trade, postal release USA.

I got an 8-book package of Roald Dahl books in my daughter's Scholastic book order from school ... so now this is a duplicate copy. Would you also like to receive Matilda, BFG, and Twits? I'm mailing this tomorrow to sgscarcliff in CA ... as part of a multi-book trade. Happy Reading!!!

This actually went to the post office on 10/1 ... sorry for the delay.

Between difficulties getting to my mailbox before closing and then no home access to computer, it has taken me a couple of days to journal the book.

Thank you for the trade. I have started reading it already. I am enjoying the book. I will post again when done and then send it on its way

Susan

Very good book. Thank you.

If you like Coraline you would like this one also

Released on Saturday, January 17, 2004 at Post Office, Geary at 21st ave in San Francisco, California USA.
