A review by krisrid
The Witch Family by Eleanor Estes
3.0
This is a charming, clever kid's story! I don't know how it is that I never read this as a child, but I'm glad to have read it now, and just in time for "Halloweeny" as it's called in the book.
Amy is a brave little girl who, along with her best friend Clarissa, "banquishes" Mean Old Wicked Witch to a glass hill to keep her out of trouble. But when that becomes too boring, Amy and Clarissa write all kinds of adventures for Old Witch, including adding Little Witch girl Hannah, and Weeny Witch Baby BeeBee to the family. Everyone is watched over by Amy's "representatiff" Malachi the spelling bee.
The story is a delight and would be the perfect book for reading to any young girls.
