Witches walk among us, disguised as ordinary women

After losing his parents, a young boy goes to live with his wise, cigar-smoking Norwegian grandmother, who teaches him everything she knows about real witches: bald, clawed, child-hating creatures who disguise themselves perfectly as everyday women. When the boy stumbles into the annual convention of England's witches at a seaside hotel, he overhears the Grand High Witch's plan to turn every child in the country into a mouse using a magical potion, and finds himself right in the crossfire. Roald Dahl's darkly funny, genuinely unsettling classic, illustrated by longtime collaborator Quentin Blake, is one of his most memorable and beloved books, mixing real menace with his signature wit and warmth.
