How to recognize a REAL Witch

          
           When it comes to books I'm more into horror/fantasy/adventure stuff, however Roahl Dahl's books are just too good not to be into it. The first Roals Dahl's book I've read is The Witches. It's about a young English boy who lives with his grandmother in Norway. One night his grandmother taught him how to recognize a REAL witch. 

What a real Witch Looks Like:


  • Witches are bald, and must wear wigs directly on their naked scalps, resulting in a condition they call "wig-rash." 
  • They have clawed fingers that they must hide with gloves.
  •  Their feet have square ends and no toes. 
  • Their spit is bright blue, leaving a pale bluish film on their teeth. 
  • Their eyes have color-changing pupils in which one may see "fire and ice dancing" in the centre. They hate children with a passion, and seek to eliminate as many as they can. Children smell extremely repulsive to them(Like Dog's Droppings), and they can sniff them out from miles away. Every year, they attend an annual meeting where they hear a speech from their terrifying ruler, the Grand High Witch.

    When they had their vacation at luxury hotel in Bournemouth, the boy together with his new made friend Bruno Jenkins encountered The Witches of England. and that's the cue for their adventures.

Here are the other Roald Dahl's works I can recommend to you guys.

The BFG
"When orphan Sophie is snatched from her bed by a Giant, she fears that he's going to eat her. But although he carries her far away to Giant Country, the Giant has no intention of harming her. As he explains, in his unique way of talking, "I is the only nice and jumbly Giant in Giant Country! I is THE BIG FRIENDLY GIANT! I is the BFG." The BFG tells Sophie how he mixes up dreams to blow through a trumpet into the rooms of sleeping children. But soon, all the BFG's powers are put to the test as he and Sophie battle to stop the other Giants from tucking into the children of the world. The RAF and even the Queen become involved in the mission."


Matilda
"Matilda is a four-year-old genius stuck with a trashy, overbearing family. Using her superior intellect, she manages to get back at them a few times through very clever strategy.
    However, when she starts school, she is faced with her mortifying headmistress, the terrible Miss Trunchbull. Compared to two-hundred pounds of solid muscle, Matilda is at a serious disadvantage. Soon, both brains and brawn are put to the test in this crazy, thoughtful, delightful story by a classic author."
