Review:
A terrific book
I really enjoyed this book. It is very well-written, funny and exciting. It will appeal hugely to younger readers, but there are lots of witty and knowing references and jokes for adults, too. The heroine is a very engaging character and the witches in the story are a terrific lot of hilarious (and sometimes quite scary) characters. The narrative moves at a cracking pace but never too fast for a neat character detail, a sly dig at modern celebrity culture or a light but very satisfactory leavening of references to poo, snot, bums and the like.
It's great - and seems to be the start of a series, which is excellent news. Very highly recommended.
