A review by wilsonkayla
Witch Week by Diana Wynne Jones

4.0

Witch Week takes place at a British boarding school in a world very similar to our own. Except! witches are common and also illegal. An anonymous note shows up declaring there is a witch in class 6b and school politics conspire to out the witch.

I thought Witch Week was a fun little book. The end was not my favorite, but that’s just my opinion. I am also not exactly the demographic for this particular book. The two main (?) characters were well drawn and it was interesting to peek in their young skulls. This book was a fine diversion for an evening.

I will say this though. I am not a young person. Books for kids used to be a lot different. Witch Week came out in the 80s, so it has fat shaming, serious bullying, mean adults…all of that. That is just sort of what went down in kids books back then, so keep all that in mind if you don’t want to read about any of that.
