Children’s-book witches have long since escaped the gingerbread house. They still cackle, cast curses, and make wonderfully alarming villains, but they also run repair shops, tend forest neighbors, raise enchanted children, and occasionally lose control of the pasta. A pointed hat can signal a scare, a joke, or the first hint that an underestimated girl has power of her own.
Drawing from Bookroo’s collection of 474 witch books, our editors chose memorable read-alouds, folklore-rich classics, gentle first magic, deliciously wicked villains, and layered fantasies for babies through middle grade. Begin with our fixed list of 10 favorites, then browse broom rides, witch schools, historical suspicions, and magical adventures by age.
