Reach for this book when your child is grappling with the realization that the world can be unfair or when they need to see that being 'small' doesn't mean being powerless. While it begins with a somber note of loss, it quickly transforms into a thrilling, darkly comedic adventure about a boy and his grandmother taking on a secret society of child-hating witches. It is a masterful choice for building resilience and exploring the bond between generations. The story is famous for its 'scary' elements, but at its heart, it is about finding clever solutions to overwhelming problems. It helps children process fear in a safe, fictional environment while normalizing the idea that even when things don't go back to exactly how they were, life can still be full of purpose and love. It is best suited for children aged 8 and up who enjoy a bit of 'spooky' in their fantasy.
