Awesome book. Will reread it to my children multiple times.
The Witches by Roald Dahl, like all of his books is a classic. While some children may find it a bit on the scary side depending on their age and mentality I read it to my toddlers recently and they did just fine.

 This is a story of a young boy who goes to live with his grandmother after his parents sadly die. He was already close to his grandmother so the transition was not too hard on him. She always told him stories of witches, how they hate children and want to destroy them and also how to identify them, but he doesn't believe they are real.

 One day he goes on a vacation with his grandmother to a hotel and discovered it is also the location of the secret yearly meeting of witches. Upon this accidental discovery the boy spies on them and learns of their evil plan. Now it is up to him with the help of his grandmother to put a stop to the evil witches.

 I would rate this book 4 out of 4 or 5 out of 5 and highly recommend it.

A darker version of The Craft
For me, this series was a little more mainstream, especially following on from the horrifying second series. It was a little bit of a dated construct - a coven of young witches doing young witch things. Luckily we had the higher level witches fighting against their voodoo counterparts and witch-finders to add some originality to that. There was also a good amount of humour injected through the character interactions and different types of magic.
A good solid series, but not as dark and gruesome as previous series.
