The Witch Returns

For anyone following Phyllis Reynolds Naylor's "Witch Series," this book was more than I could hope for. It was cleverly written to bring Mrs. Tuggle's evil back, and was a great way to end the series. Except, I hope it's not over yet!!!

Last but definitely not least!

The Witch Returns is the last book in Phyllis Reynolds Naylor's Witch series and the best. After going through a tough time with Elnora Tuggle, Lynn and Mouse believe that after she "died" in the fire. Her "sister" Greta Gullone(which can be turned into Elnora Tuggle) turns up and is interested in the rare book Spells and Potions(a book about witches) which is stored in Lynn's house. The bad part is Stevie(Lynn's five-year-old brother) is drawn to Mrs. Gullone's "rabbit" Delcy, which can be rearranged into Clyde(Mrs. Tuggle's "grandson" who earlier when Lynn's sister, Judith, was involved with witchcraft helped try to sacrifice Stevie when Lynn's parents were gone and Mrs.Tuggle had baby-sat). Lynn's mother continuously goes up to Mrs. Tuggle's. The family, Beasly's, and Dr.Long haven't told Lynn's mother any of this because of previous encounters with witchcraft. Finally Mother surprises them by telling them the reason for going up there is to give the family a chance to bring it up but they wouldn't. They join together to stop "Greta" or Elnora. But can they beat her at her own game? As a seventh grade girl, I enjoyed the suspense and mysteries in the whole series, but mostly this book. I recommend it to 5th through 8th grade girls.
