A note for parents
The Witches is a classic children's fantasy adventure where a boy and his grandmother battle witches plotting to harm children. While there are some mildly scary moments and the boy is turned into a mouse, the tone remains humorous and ultimately empowering rather than genuinely frightening. The story celebrates family loyalty, bravery, and quick thinking, making it appropriate for mid-grade readers who enjoy mild fantasy peril.
