My 11yo and 8yo sons loved this book!
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 15 years ago
When Lizzie concocts a potion to get rid of their mean neighbors and then they suddenly disappear, she begins to believe she's achieved her desire to become a witch. Her practical middle brother, Dan, doesn't buy it for a minute, insisting there is no such thing as magic. And the youngest, Max, doesn't know what to think. This story is one of the best we've read in a while -- very funny, fairly smart, and just a plain good read. There is some mild language and a situation that turns bad when Lizzie gets too-easy access to the alcohol cupboard when making her potions, but overall I felt it was quite appropriate for my boys.
Extremely Funny Book
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 20 years ago
When I first checked this book out of the library, I didn't think it'd be funny at all. I started reading it and it just sounded like a normal book with funny parts. But when I got to the part when Lizzie dressed up in her bikini, played loud pop music, and Max came out stark naked with a lampshade on his head so the horrible grownups drove away in dusgust, I laughed out loud. There are many other funny parts and I love the book.
