Since monster movies for kids starring girls seem so rare, I thought I’d tell you about one of my children’s favorite Halloween books.
The Witch Who Was Afraid of Witches is about three witch sisters. The youngest one, Wendy, always gets left out because she can’t do anything cool. On Halloween, her broom is broken, and she is left alone to take care of the house. A boy, Roger, dressed up as a ghost trick-or-treats at Wendy’s house. Roger convinces Wendy that all she needs to trick-or-treat is a new broom. Not realizing she’s a real witch, he takes her to his house to get one. It is at the Roger’s house, that Wendy discovers her power. She makes Roger’s old house broom fly. Roger and his mother are amazed and impressed. More adventures ensue and that culminate with Wendy making her first real friend and also, her sisters coming to respect and including her.
The book we have is an I Can Read it and has been a favorite for learning how to read.
Reel Girl rates The Witch Who Was Afraid of Witches ***HHH***
The original is so much better than the remake. *sigh*
