But when she finds out various children are disappearing, Minx decides to figure out what's going on.and maybe give her cruel mother her just desserts.
Although her presence raises quite a few eyebrows, she manages to make new friends and find some happiness outside her suffocating home. Tired of continually being mistreated and wishing for something more, Minx decides to make a bold move: Go to school when her mother is away. She frequently berates Minx for not being a good enough witch, often denying her food and forbidding her to do anything, especially going to school. Pretty much the image of a typical witch. Said witch is cruel, mean, abusive, and hates kids so much that she regularly creates all sorts of spells and concoctions in her cauldron that she subjects kids to. The story centers on a young girl, Minikin Snickasnee, aka Minx, the daughter of an evil witch named Madam Snickasnee. I don't think it's as good as other children's books I've read, but I wouldn't call it bad either. I rented it, liked it, and bought a physical copy of it, which is now sitting on one of my many shelves. I found it as I was searching for kids books about cute witches, and this one happened to come up. The first book for that came out in 1974, but there were plenty of books about good witches that came out even before that, one of them being the subject of today's review, Little Witch by Anna Elizabeth Bennett, published in 1953. One of them was The Worst Witch series by Jill Murphy, which just got a new Netflix series that's still ongoing (And I really need to get around to watching that). But before Harry Potter ever came around, other writers tried their hand at writing similar stories that weren't as popular until the former basically popularized it. I give this cute book about a little witch girl.a 70/100.Īt this point in time, stories about young witches, sorcerers, and wizards are commonplace, obviously thanks to the Harry Potter book series.
