Customer Reviews

The Witches of Babizar
An excellent book for children of all ages. (10 - 110 years) I think it is an equal to J.K. Rowling's Harry Potter Series. My 12 year old granddaughter, Victoria, said, "IT'S EVEN BETTER."

A first class and riveting mystery
A rip roaring adventure from almost the first page, full of all sorts of strange characters such as witches, an ominous black crow, a strict aunt, Rebecca, a jealous cousin and a flying cottage. At the centre of this intriging tale is a girl called Alice with a much sought after Chensi necklace who is trying to trace her parents who were passengers in a plane that has disappeared. This book fairly bounces along and is a must for children and adults alike. Brilliant.
