| Grade 5-7 - When his father is called to Scotland on business, Joe's expectation of a boring Christmas holiday with his mum, step dad, and half-sister takes a turn toward the fantastical when he unintentionally becomes involved in a quest to recover the world's most dangerous magic spell--a page stolen from the ancient and infamous Mabel's Book. With the help of Twiggy, a young member of the disreputable Dead Nettle coven, Joe battles the loathsome Dritch sisters and their evil associates. John Curless's skillful, fully-voiced narration of the book by Anna Dale (Bloomsbury, 2004) is pure auditory delight as he brings to life the many eccentric characters and whimsical touches that make this bewitching tale perfect family listening. - Cindy Lombardo, Tuscarawas County Public Library, New Philadelphia, OH

| I can still not get over how much I enjoyed this magical mystery that was packed full of delightful characters, witches, magic, and a very well-plotted story. The cover caught my attention and I wasn't expecting much from it, but from the very first page, I was hooked on Joe Bink's adventure. I won't give away much on the plot (that's what the book synopsis is for!) but I'll tell you what I enjoyed the most;
The setting was perfect for the story; christmastime in a small english village, just right for a story about magical witches. The author plants her clues and the story was very well constructed. Also, the author doesn't insult older readers by using childish language. I got through it quite easily without being disappointed by lack of a mature writing style. I look forward to reading Anna Dale's next book and I hope that it is the sequel to Whispering to Witches. Overall, I give this book a 10/10! If you're a fan of Harry Potter (or a fan of good stories in general), I highly reccomend this book for it is just as magical and yet so very different and origional! |
