What the Witch Left
Author: Ruth Chew
Reviewer: Holly
This is a story about two girls, Katy and Louise, who find a drawer full of things left by Katy's "aunt" Martha. At first the things seem quite usual -- a pair of gloves, a bathrobe, a mirror, a box, some boots -- but when the girls take the items out of the drawer to play, they get a lot more than they bargained for! The items are magical, and maybe Aunt Martha isn't what she seems to be either! This is one of BKL's favorite books -- you should read it too!

This is a great book if you are on a sabbatical, or about to go on one, but that doesn't mean you shouldn't read it! It is about a family who is taking a sabbatical in France. They have to survive without hotdogs, ice cream, and all the other American foods. They learn that even though they are away from home, it is still a lot of fun. Such as when it is Thanksgiving, the French consider it just a day, the kids put on a pageant with wild Indians. They have a lot of fun. And to find out what else happens, read the book!
