After reading James and the Giant Peach, I was in the mood to read something else by Roald Dahl. I had borrowed a Sony ebook reader and Dave had The Witches as an ebook, so I gave it a shot. At Rod's suggestion, I read this myself rather than read it aloud to Kevin, though in retrospect, I'm sure would have liked it, so I may give it a go sometime after we read Matilda.

I love the way Dahl's child characters always outwit the adults and the way the endings aren't quite as neat as you expect from a children's book. This is good stuff.
