The mother leaves her children at home while she
goes to market telling them not to let anyone in
and not to touch fire. But then someone hobbled
up to the window and said, "I'm Heckedy Peg.
I?ve lost my leg. Let me in." "We can't," the
children said. The witch takes the children to her
hut. In the story there was a lot of fooling other
people because the witch fooled the children
and the mother fooled the witch. The witch
turned the children into food. You'll be surprised
what happens to the witch in the end.
We recommend this book because it really keeps
you thinking. We also recommend this book
because something surprising happens in the
end. If you like being scared you should read this
book.
