Prepare to be chilled and thrilled by The Witches, Roald Dahl’s dark and wickedly funny masterpiece about real-life monsters hiding in plain sight.
This isn’t a fairy tale about harts and broomsticks. Real witches don't wear pointed hats; they wear ordinary clothes, have ordinary jobs, and live in ordinary houses. But underneath, they are bald, have claws instead of fingernails, and—most importantly—they detest children with a passion!
When a young boy and his wise grandmother stumble upon the annual gathering of the Grand High Witch and her followers, they discover a diabolical plot to turn every child in England into a mouse. It will take every ounce of courage and a very clever plan to stop them. A gripping tale of bravery and survival, The Witches remains one of the most suspenseful and beloved children's books of all time.
