Whispering to Witches by Anna Dale

This book was absolutely adorable, if a book can be considered adorable.=)  It was a great kids book that an adult could read and it not be too childish.  The storyline was great and the writing structure was easy to follow.  In the story you'll follow a young boy named Joe.  His father has to go away over christmas break to take care of an ill family member, so Joe has to spend Christmas with his mom and stepdad and sister, Esme.  While with his mom he finds a friend, Twiggy, and comes to realize that she's actually a witch and she's part of a coven!  Joe also learns that there are covens all ove the world but they are slowly dissappearing.  The witching world is fascinating to Joe.  Anna describes this world as you've never heard it before.  It was absolutely wonderful to read.  Throughout the book Twiggy & Joe embark to solve the mysteries that seem to just start popping up.  Although they are on their own since no one in Twiggy's coven will believe her, they save the day in the end.  It is such a great book that you can easily get caught up in and read pretty quickly if you have the time for it.  I would definitely recommend this book to anyone.  Very magical and captivating.  Happy Reading!
