Why read it?

1 author picked A Very Brave Witch as one of their favorite books. Why do they recommend it?

A perfect primer for young readers who are just getting into Halloween spookiness. I love a set up where the witch is afraid of people so the child reader can feel in control. The action plays out on Halloween night and the payoff when the "real" witch meets the child in costume is magical and age appropriate. A sweet and simple beginner witch story.

From Jennie's list on not-too-spooky witches.
