Hello everybody this is the last posts for this month which I am focusing on books who were written for younger teens or kids but still can be read by teens or adults and for the final one I'm bringing another of my favourite book by Diana Wynne Jones and it is Witch Week.Actually it is considered as one of the Chrestomanci series but it is more of a side book of the series but nonetheless still very enjoyable.
The good
.The newest edition of it has a really nice cover and of course nice illustration
.A great story filled with smart characters
The bad
.As it got nearer to the ending the story felt a little bit rushed
Quick summary
The story is set in a world quite like ours except where magic is very real but in the story witchcraft is illegal and punishable by death.Larwood School is a boarding school where kids with problems or kids whose parents were a withch that have been excuted will be sent there.One day during class the teacher found a note left by an anonymous student saying that 'SOMEONE IN THIS CLASS IS A WITCH'he quickly round up his student and ask them to confess because this is no joking matter but of course nobody said anything....................That's all I guess
The conclusion
Truthfully speaking Witch week isn't the best book I've read from Diana Wynne Jones and it isn't that adventurous but Witch Week is definitely one of the smartest book I've read from her from the weird but smart characters to the great mystery essenceof the story not to metion the ending(while the story became more rushed near the ending the ending still hbold the book quite tightly)Normally when Diana Wynne Jones write an epic or an adventure story she normally tries a little bit to hard and throws out some of the wittiness of the story so normmally most of her best story is where they don't do anything that grand(The Ogre Downstairs,Witch Week,Charmed Life"Charmed Life only has a subtle adventure feel to it")Witch Week is an amazing book to diana Wynne Jones fans and definitely a great book for any fantasy lover.
