 Hewitch Deep within the pages of this book, Hewitch resides, casting his spell of clever creepiness and mixing up a brew of giggles and grins. “Hewitch,” written by Winky Deveze, is not your average story of ghouls and ghosties. No, the reader discovers early on that Hewitch is different. For though boys and girls suspect ingredients of the stew on his spooky stove, few ever escape his horrible home to tell the tale. For, Hewitch is wily as well as wicked and his ability to coax children into his lair is legendary. The language of Hewitch, through his quest to catch little children and cook them in his pot, provides just the right amount of shivery fun for younger children wanting a bit of fright in their stories. With illustrations by Andy Neate, a delightfully dark tone is set within the first few pages of the book, leaving the reader eagerly anticipating what will be found when the next page is revealed. As the reader turns to the final page, the author cleverly does not finish the tale…leaving instead it’s ending for the reader to decide for himself, what actually happened that night to the child who wandered into Hewitch’s home. This open ended story is just right for children who like to create their own tales of terror and for adults who remember what fun spooky endings can be! Read it and invite the little ghoul in your life to tell you what happens when the story ends. The possibilities are limitless and the variations many…with only imagination stopping the reader from finishing the tale. And with imagination abound, there is no telling what will happen next with “Hewitch!”
