It is that time of the year again. When the leaves starting changing colors and the wind holds the promise of the Autumn that is coming. (Who I am kidding I live in the desert. It is still hot). Children are getting ready to pick out their Halloween costumes. As a little girl I was always a witch, which is probably why I associate Autumn with witches. This month we are paying homage to the wonderful Autumny witch.

TOOK is a great middle-grade witch story by Mary Downing Hahn! (There were some interesting parallels with the thriller INK AND BONE by Lisa Unger, though I don’t recall offhand if I’d classify that as a “witch” story — still a good one, though.)
