Summary: He He He... *Cackle*Cackle* I'll get you, My Pretty!
Review: In the book THE WITCH WHO WAS AFRIAD OF WITCHES, there were three witches, Polly, the oldest, knew *everything*, Wog, the middles sister, could do *everything* the best. Then, of course, there was the youngest and the most picked on (at least by her sisters :( ) Wendy. This is a very good book, though I disagree that the notion that all witches wear black robes and hats, have warty green noses, and cackle evily. Some are short, wear glasses, and teach english. ^_^';; Heh heh, anyway.. as I said, this is a very good book, even for older children and teenagers alike.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: I want you to read this book
Review: These are my favorite exciting parts of the book. My first favorite part is when a ghost named Roger knocks on the door and says, "Trick or treat!" and Wendy says there's nobody home. My next favorite part is when they go to Roger's house to get a broom. When Wendy sits on the broom, and she cackles and gives a little jump, she zooms to the ceiling. Another favorite part is when Wendy puts spells on her sisters, Wog and Polly. Another one is when they come home limping and they think they lost their witch powers. My last favorite part is when they find Wendy and they say that her broom won't work and Polly gets on the broom and she can't take off and Wog gets on the broom and she can't take off either. Then Wendy gets on and cackles and gives a little jump and zooms off out the window faster than they ever flew.

Summary: OBVIOUS PLAGIARISM!!!!! WHAT CRAP!!!!!! AT LEAST CREDIT!!
Review: This author is an obvious plagiarist and parents should keep their kids away from such immoral writers. Teach your kids to respect authors both in the US and abroad!!

Here is the original:
The Little Witch
by Otfried Preussler

Please have the decency to appreciate the real brilliance behind wonderful stories rather than reading this cheap ripoff. Too bad the english translation of the above book is lacking. Maybe this author could have helped translate Preusller's work rather than simply ripping off the material.

No ignorance is not bliss and teaching our kids plagiarism is WRONG! no matter how you might try to explain it.
