Books about witches for 7 year olds

[RosieProbert]

My daughter and son are now randomly obsessed with witches for there birthday they have asked for witch books any ideas my daughter has the worst witch selection but anyone's for my son?

The Witches (Roald Dahl)
The Belfry Witches

I loved The Witch in the Cherry Tree by Margaret Mahy as a child but it was a bit more of a picture book.

I used to love the worst witch series! Not sure how it’s aged now though!

Worst Witch has aged well. There is a fairly recent CBBC programme made of it.

Still excellent!

Gobilino the witches cat.

There is a book called Which Witch by Eva Ibbotson that might appeal to boys but you would have to read it to him I would have thought. It's about a wizard who has to get married so he has to hold a competition to see which witch is best. There's a few male characters. I've read it to year twos and they loved it.

The current cover is awful...my copy is old.

The Witches and the Grinnygrog.

The Worst Witch has held up pretty well!

The Amelia Fang series is fun, some spooky stuff and a bit of silly humour. They have female main characters, but a mix of boy and girl characters throughout the stories.

The worst witch and are you prepared to read Harry Potter aloud or listen to Stephen fry forever

She says in her OP that her dd already has the Worst Witch series.

Winnie the Witch has chapter books.
Witch storm. I seem to remember the main character is a boy.

Your son can also read the Worst Witch of course.

Are they also interested in wizards? How about the Sword in the Stone?

When they're a bit older The Raging Quiet is an excellent book! Some of the content is a little... mature, I think the age guideline is 12. One for the future I loved it as a young teen!

I loved this when I was young, you'd have to get a used copy though

Witches in Stitches (Puffin Books) amzn.eu/d/2w36XwH

I made my own versions of subsequent issues too. Happy days!

And obviously Terry Pratchett in a couple of years time...!

The Lion The Witch and The Wardrobe
Agree with Gobbolino and Which witch?
Carbonel - might be a bit old
I loved books about witches when I was little!

Your son can also read the Worst Witch of course.

But she is looking for books for his birthday.

The harry potter series

Witch Wars series by Sibéal Pounder

The Worst Witch, Winnie the Witch and - at a stretch - the Isadora Moon series. Happy witching!

Winnie the Witch. 👍

My seven year old loves isadora moon and the mirabelle series by Harriet Muncaster. Also loves Harry Potter but struggles to read it on her own.

I absolutely loved Diana Wynne Jones as a kid

The Chrestomanci series
