Review

 A very interesting story. It is a little dark, but as most tween books, it is a happy ending. As the title suggested, it is a story about a witch who eat children, but the story is mostly about the siblings. I have expected more stories about the witch. I think she has lots of stories behind her, which I am interest of. I would love to "make" children read this book because one of the theme of the book is to scare children to be behave or either they will be eaten by the witch.
