Rosemary's witch

Rosemary's Witch The novel Rosemary's witch, by Ann Turner is a story about two young neighbors who are best friends and they try to find out why this witch is taking things from them. Ernie, a chubby boy, who lives down the street, from Rosemary Morgenthau, Ernie's best friend. Rosemary, a girl who moves into a 150-year-old witches house in a town called Woodhaven and she finds out that the witch wants her house back. Rosemary and Ernie go to the witches house, which is in Rosemary's backyard and they try to find out what she wants and why she wants it. What I like about Rosemary is that she's only eleven-years-old and she's very brave. She's brave enough to face a witch. My favorite part of the book was when she became friends and when she was picking on Ernie before they tried to find out what she wanted, and my least favorite part was when the toads were all over the streets. I think the ending of this book is good because it acts as if there is going to be a part two, another section. I like the way that Ann Turner writes her books, she gives just enough information; not too much and not too little. Her vocabulary is a little but not much easier than it should be. I think that she wrote the book for ages 12-15. I would recommend this book because it teaches you to be brave and don't hold back on your dreams or on your accomplishments!

The best book, great for a middle schooler.

I really liked this book because Rosemary is the same age as me,and she has to go and find a witch. Rosemary likes to achieve her goals. she was a good character.She did achieve her goal.The one thing I liked was when Rosemary finds she does not have a title,like her father is a history teacher,and hermother is a dancer,and her brother wants to be an archeoligist, but she does not have one. She later finds she does not need one. So that is why I like this book.
