Customer Reviews

A return to my childhood

For years, I tried to get my hands on the first three books in this series. I read them when I was in the fifth grade in one weekend, driving my parents nuts because I didn't want to eat or sleep. I now teach fifth grade and often read the first book in the series, "The Witch's Sister", to my class. The only copy of this second book mysteriously disappered a couple of years ago, leaving my class to skip over to the final book in the first trilogy. I sincerely hope this book is released again so my students can enjoy the true nature of the set!

The second book in a great trilogy

Contrary to a previous review, there *is* a sequel to this book. _Witch Water_ is the second of a trilogy of witch books by Phyllis Reynolds Naylor, the first being _Witch's Sister_ and the third being _The Witch Herself_. Years later this series was continued in a second trilogy (_The Witch's Eye_, _Witch Weed_ and _The Witch Returns_), which was still good, but the first 3 are better.

This book left me in suspense.

This book is a really good story but the end leaves you in total suspense and there is not a sequel. Otherwise it is a very good book.
