A boy and his grandmother face the witches

Grandmamma’s stories about witches take on a dangerous reality when her grandson encounters the Grand High Witch. This reader condenses the larger adventure into a mini story built around the boy and his grandmother’s effort to stop the witches’ plan to turn children into mice. Its central contrast is between a child’s attentive listening and the moment when a frightening tale becomes a real threat, with the boy-mouse and his grandmother working together against a hotel full of witches.

Good fit for readers who enjoy

  • Young readers, especially those in the 9–12 age range, interested in children’s fantasy.
  • Dahl fans seeking a short reader featuring the world and premise of The Witches.
  • Readers who enjoy stories about children and grandparents confronting a shared danger.
