Summary: Great book for any fantasy/witch fan!
Review: Arriman the Awful is looking for a wife. Arriman is a horrible dark wizard but he is the most handsome and bad wizard there is. all the witches of Todcaster(a town) hope to win the contest that he set up, for the winner gets to marry him! Each witch must do the darkest magic that they can manage and they are rated from 1-10. There is seven witches in Todcaster. Belladonna is the only white witch. She loves Arriman so much but there is one big problem: Belladonna is white. White witches like Belladonna cannot do dark magic like turning an ordainary thing into somthing like a writhing nest of vipers. Whenever Belladonna wakes up she is usually surrounded by big floppy begonias(flowers)! Somehow she must do something so horrible and dark that she can win the contest and get married to Arriman!

Summary: Frightfully funny!
Review: Arriman the Awful, a wizard of great power and darkest evil, has grown bored with his life. Realizing that he needs a son to carry on the cause of darkness and evil, Arriman searches for a suitable wife. Only a witch of the darkest evil will serve, but which witch? The obvious course of action is found, a competition in evil witchcraft, with the witches in formal evening gowns!Among the witches, though, there is one who nobody expects to win, the pretty and (most shockingly) white witch Belladonna. Alone among the witches, Belladonna has fallen in love with Arriman. When the exceedingly evil Madame Olympia, who has already married and done away with five husbands, Belladonna realizes that she must be blacker than she has ever dreamed of being if she is going to win the contest and save Arriman. But how? This book is frightfully funny (pardon the pun)! The characters are interesting and funny; the storyline slides along keeping you glued to the pages. This is a great book, suitable for all ages. I highly recommend this book.

Summary: A fun-filled fantasy
Review: Eva Ibbotson delivers another fun-filled fantasy, this one featuring a most eccentric assortment of witches, plus a wizard in search of a wife, a 16th-century ghost who murdered all seven of his wives, a one-eyed ogre, a gypsy fortuneteller, an earthworm named Rover, and a likable young boy who has escaped from a dismal orphanage. The witches, who are competing in a contest of sinister deeds to marry the wizard Arriman the Awful, include one who is half mermaid, a pair of quarrelsome twins who have chickens for familiars, a truly evil enchantress, and Belladonna, a good witch who seems unable to do anything wicked no matter how hard she tries. If you liked "The Secret of Platform 13," you'll like this one too. I also recommend Ms. Ibbotson's "Island of the Aunts" (British title: "Monster Mission"), plus her ghost books, available in U.K. editions.

Summary: Cute Fantasy Witch Book
Review: The front covers says "if you like Harry Potter, you will like this book." Everybody who ever wrote a kid's book or uttered the word "muggle," is trying to cash in on Harry Potter's book. This is a cute funny book, but it really has nothing to do with Harry Potter. And there probably won't be a 730 page sequel to it... That said, this book has a lot going for it. The language is very funny. The witches and warlocks are a real hoot. When the main warlock in the story is born, the parents are just regular parents. They hope for a baby like any other parent would hope for. What becomes apparent very quickly is that he is a warlock. His parents give into this and he gets to be creepy from the very jump. What is funny is that he embraces his duty to be a creepy warlock and live in a castle and cast spells on unsuspecting people. He also takes his duty very seriously that he must marry a local witch and reproduce. So a contest is held. All the local witches turn out. They are a scary & hilarious group complete with hairy moles, scuzzy hair, and brooms, which makes his duty all the more painful, for the warlock cuts a dashing figure. The witches all have weird familiars with them. One's familiar is a box of maggots who keep growing up, turning into flys and buzzing around her. One old witch is a bit senile and keeps turning herself into a coffee table. Then she forgets how to change back, so she just sits around as a coffee table. I won't tell you how the contest turns out or who gets to be the new love in our warlock's life. No spoilers. It is a funny book kids (and grownups) will enjoy. It is rather in the spirit of Roald Dahl. And read "Platform 39" by this same author also. It is a very different book, but just as good.
