The Grand High Witch

Grandmothers Grandson

Witches || From Norway, fluent in both English and Norwegian, very comforting and very wise. She knows alot about witches because Norwegian people know alot about witches.She loves her grandson very much. ED‍‍‍‍ She knew all five kids and their family's of the kids who were taken by the witches. She loves to smoke and agrees that the Grandson shouldn't take a lot of baths so the witches couldn't very well find him. She also had survived encounters with two witches. J.D.

Leader of all the witches. Gets angered easily, shouts a lot, and very intelligent. Came up with a concoction to turn all children who drink it turn into mice. All witches hate kids. She is kinda like Matilda's schoolmaster who also hates kids. AF

His parents had died in a car crash when driving up to Norway to see their grandmother. So in his dad's will he wrote that she could be the one to take care of him but they had to stay in their old house in England but grandmother hated England. Has learned all of his knowledge about witches from grandmother. Very caring to others and has two mice that he likes to train. Cares a lot about his parents and his grandmother. Has been turned into a mouse by The Grand High Witches potion. AF The grandson's parents died in a car crash and he is very lucky to have survived with only a scratch. He only half believes in witches and is very happy to only have one bath a month. He and his grandmother could speak either English or Norwegian, and they would speak one or the other when they met. J.D.

witches they hate kids. they have long claws instead of finger nails. the thing i think stands out the most is they have really big nose holes they live under rule of the grand high witch and there has to be at least some witches in each country. the one thing they think about is getting rid of kids. WK

grandma knows all about witches and I think she has seen one before and she lives itn norway sitting and smoking sugars she is the parent of the kid and tells him about witches WK

They hate children. They want to get rid of them. They are Bald. They always wear gloves even in the summer. They have huge feet but they still put their feet inside of the tiny high heels normal woman wear. Their Nostrils are larger than most peoples. They have very long finger nails. OJP

Grandma knows about the witches and was a witcholaplis back in the day. She also knows about a grand high witch who is kindy like their queen. Granne knew some kids who dissapeered or turned into a animal or even got in a picture. J.R. ||

<range type="comment" id="433840136_10">‍‍‍‍On vacation the grandson got mice from his grandmother, after leaving them out of the cage while he was gone the cleaning lady found them and told the manager and they got in trouble. The manager made a compromise to them he said they could keep them as long as long as they don't leave the cage. The grandson decided to take them out and train them more. He went to look around the hotel he hid behind a screen in the ballroom. In a few minutes a group of witches came in and talked about a secret recipe that they would launch on children that would turn them into mice. Eventually they found the grandson by his scent and turned him into a mouse! AF

In real life people get very sick from smoking and after they recover from that terrible sickness (if they do) their ways of living are very limited for quite some time just like what happened to grandmother. AF

In the book the witches the witches remind me of people who smoke, and get lung cancer. J.R. Also Bruno reminds me of the food eating racers. J.R.

Witches remind me of kidnappers and people who give children candy and steal them. EDdie

In today's reading the boy while he was a mouse went down to the dinning hall so he could put the mouse maker in the witch's food. He had to scurry across the room and once he got in he found out what a joy it was to have a tail. He then found out where the witches food was and drooped all of the potion in it. Then on his way out he was spotted, and part of his tail was cut off. This reminds me of the time when I almost had my finger cut off. J.D.

<range type="comment" id="435057362_1">‍In the book their is a boy and his Grandmother. The boys parents died in a car crash. The Grandmother is an expert on witches. Grandmother tells the boy all about witches. They go to England for Vacation and grandmother gets the boy some mice. The mice are found by the cleaning lady and the cleaning lady tells the manager. They get into trouble. As a compromise the manager lets the boy keep the mice as long as they never come out of the cage. The boy goes into a meeting room where THE ROYAL SOCIETY FOR THE PREVENTION OF CRUELTY TO CHILDREN were going to have a meting. And he hides behind a screen in the back of the room. He finds out that they are witches and are planning an evil sceam to get rid of all the children in England. To find out more read the book! = OJP</range id="435057362_1">‍

If you smoke you most likely will get lung cancer, and the Grandmother smokes! I have a prediction. My prediction is the Grandmother will die from lung cancer at the end of the book! = OJP
