The Witches by Roald Dahl

The Witches by Roald Dahl
A darkly funny, thrilling classic that proves not all fairy tales are sweet.

Witches look like ordinary women, but they are anything but ordinary. They wear wigs, have claws instead of fingernails, and absolutely despise children. When a young boy and his fearless grandmother stumble upon a secret meeting of the Grand High Witch and her followers, they uncover a terrifying plan to get rid of children everywhere.

Even when the boy is turned into a mouse, he refuses to give up. With bravery, clever thinking, and the help of his grandmother, he sets out to stop the witches before it’s too late.

Packed with suspense, humour, and Roald Dahl’s unmistakable storytelling style, The Witches is a gripping tale of courage, quick wits, and standing up to evil—no matter how small you are.

Perfect for ages 8–12, this unforgettable story is spooky, funny, and bold, making it a favourite for generations of readers.
