Depth, magic, and life lessons

As always, Mary Downing Hahn masterfully crafts a fairytale-like story with depth, magic, and suspense - and is chock full of life lessons, with a focus on women empowerment. A really good book that you will devour! Highly recommend.

Great book!

I loved this book, though I got it by chance as a gift from my mom's friend. It might be hard to get a hand on, but it's worth it. There's a lot of suspense and I couldn't put it down! I agree with my fellow readers, it's the best book! *Thumbs up*

The Time Of The Witch-5 stars on my rating!

That book was great!! I couldn't put it down. I loved it, I reccomend it to anyone who likes exciting fantasy that keeps you on the edge of your seat.

An unpredictable story of suprising terror.

I am atracted to scary stories,so I bought this book as soon as I saw it.At first I was thinking that this might not be as scary as it was said to be,but as I got further into it,I found that it was full of suprises.The main charecter Laura,is so well described that I feel as though I've known her my whole life.This is a fabulous book,and I recomend it to anyone who loves bone chilling tales.

Extravigant! The most wonderfully written book I have read !

The most wonderfully written book I have read in the last 5 to 6 years!! This is her best work since " Look for me by Moonlight". Which I also loved nonetheless. Everybody take a day or two ( believe me, you won't need it whit this book) and read this fabulous book that will surely go down in history!

Fabulous!

This book, if not neccessarily scary, is one of my absolute favorites of all time. I read it for the first time in 2nd grade, and have read at least 1 time a year since. BUY IT!!
