In the book THE WITCH WHO WAS AFRIAD OF WITCHES, there were three witches, Polly, the oldest, knew *everything*, Wog, the middles sister, could do *everything* the best. Then, of course, there was the youngest and the most picked on (at least by her sisters :( ) Wendy. This is a very good book, though I disagree that the notion that all witches wear black robes and hats, have warty green noses, and cackle evily. Some are short, wear glasses, and teach english. ^_^';; Heh heh, anyway.. as I said, this is a very good book, even for older children and teenagers alike.
These are my favorite exciting parts of the book. My first favorite part is when a ghost named Roger knocks on the door and says, "Trick or treat!" and Wendy says there's nobody home. My next favorite part is when they go to Roger's house to get a broom. When Wendy sits on the broom, and she cackles and gives a little jump, she zooms to the ceiling. Another favorite part is when Wendy puts spells on her sisters, Wog and Polly. Another one is when they come home limping and they think they lost their witch powers. My last favorite part is when they find Wendy and they say that her broom won't work and Polly gets on the broom and she can't take off and Wog gets on the broom and she can't take off either. Then Wendy gets on and cackles and gives a little jump and zooms off out the window faster than they ever flew.
