This review is from: The Wednesday Witch (Paperback)

It is sad to see this book is out of print as well as her other books. I read Ruth Chew books as a child in grade school and absolutely loved them. This is a humorous book about a witch that loses her cat and vacuum cleaner (which she flies around on)to a young girl. The adventures the girl has and how she settles, her missing things with the witch. A truly enjoyable book with illustrations here and there through out also done by author. Now where is my vaccum cleaner???....I need to go to the store.

A Kid's Review

This review is from: The Wednesday Witch (Paperback)

This was the fastest book I ever read! I couldn't wait to finish it once I started it. I wish it was on the 4th grade reading list - it was so good! If you are looking for a good book you should try reading this book. I loved it so much!!!!! My Aunt read it 34 years ago when she was in the 4th grade and then she passed it on to me.

5.0 out of 5 stars Simmons, January 29, 2003

SDS - See all my reviews

This review is from: Wednesday Witch (Paperback)

Wednesday Witch was my favorite childhood book. I read it countless times. I actually wrote Ruth Chew and told her how much I liked her books and she wrote me back! It was a one page letter and she drew Wednesday Witch in the top left hand corner! I regret that my mom and dad did not safekeep the letter because I misplaced it. I hope that Scholastic will one day re-release the books (despite their preoccupation with witch writer Rowling) so that other kids can enjoy her works.
