A review by ravipotter
Not Just a Witch by Kevin Hawkes, Eva Ibbotson
Reading the first chapter I thought it was like one of those plot less, utterly terribly predictable and typical two page myth stories, like 'the princess who was a mouse'. But boy was I wrong?
In a very subtle way she dealt with many dark aspects including cruelty to animals and prisoners and all such while never being melodramatic. It has enough fun and plot to keep one engrossed. The author wasn't afraid to show the darkness out in society while also not lecturing the readers. She did one hell of a job.
You wouldn't regret reading it. It would be a great read for children and adults.
