The Witches by Roald Dahl

I watched this movie when I was around 10 or 11. I was terrrified and freaked out and literally had nightmares for months because of this lady:

She is so scary and really freaked me out....She STILL GIVES ME CHILLS!!

Here is another picture from the movie. I wasn't afraid of this picture...

I was afraid of this...

So, a while ago, when Adam was bookshopping, He brought home The witches by Roald Dahl...as a joke.



I wasn't planning to read this...EVER... but desparation called and I picked it up and actually, it was really cute and fun and a great read. And the level is young enough for the older grandkiddies to read!

Chears to the people who chose Angelica Houston for the role of the Grand-High Witch...she was Great!! and scary!

Nick of Time

I haven't actually read this book. But, I've heard good things about it. It's apparently especially good for kids around 7-8. Nick, the hero, ends up traveling through time, from what I can gather to save his sister. There are apparently pirates involved.
