![]() However, the threat that the witches will use their evil sorcery against children is what makes the book scary - perhaps too scary for some kids. There's a little violence in the book, especially against mice: A tail is partially sliced off, and two mice are hurled against a wall. Grandmamma is a doting caretaker with some singular quirks. As in so many of his wonderful works, Dahl also depicts a special, loving relationship between a child and an adult who's not his parent. Dahl's superior inventiveness as a storyteller is on full display in the tales Grandmamma tells, and in her descriptions of the physical characteristics that distinguish witches from humans. Reimagining Roald Dahls beloved story for a modern audience, Robert Zemeckiss visually innovative THE WITCHES tells the darkly humorous and heartwarming tale of a young orphaned boy (Bruno) who, in late 1967, goes to live with his loving Grandma (Spencer) in the rural Alabama town of Demopolis. A young orphaned boy goes to live with his grandmother in Norway, and she tells her grandson true (in the world of the book) facts about witches. Parents need to know that Roald Dahl's 1983 book The Witches is a highly entertaining fantasy novel with scary and suspenseful scenes. Did you know you can flag iffy content?
