All about The Witches – Lethally scary!

Real witches are not at all silly. They don’t bother with pointy hats and broomsticks. They are, in fact, lethally dangerous. And this is their most evil plan... ever. The plot follows Luke and his Gran as they battle a gang of witches, determined to stop the evil women from getting rid of all the children in England. Luke is only ten years old and his gran has a dodgy heart, so they’re in for a battle. Will they take this vital chance to stop the witches from ridding England of children?
