Cette critique a été écrite dans le cadre des Critiques en avant-première de LibraryThing. Great concept with fun characters and lots of interesting twists, but hard to follow. I loved the fact that you knew this was written from a middle schoolers point of view without having to be told. The dialogue and surroundings were spot on for how it felt to be in middle school. Overall an enjoyable fall read for any time of year!Cette critique a été écrite dans le cadre des Critiques en avant-première de LibraryThing. I’m finding The Witch House difficult to efficiently recap. It is a middle grade book mostly told through the alternating journal entries of middle schoolers Jayla and Lola, and also there are witches! That’s the best I can manage, because TWH is way weirder and more experimental than a simple summary. It is a really cool and scary book. Like, imagine The Babadook but told from the perspective of the kid. That is the vibe, but there is more to it. TWH is a ride for sure and requires some active engagement from the reader, which I LOVE in a middle grade book. At the end there were some things left unexplained, which I appreciated. Once the scary thing is defanged with a description, it isn’t scary anymore, and I thought TWH did a great job sort of toeing that line between scariness and satisfying explanation. Absolutely recommend!

YOU DON'T HAVE TO FACE THE WITCH HOUSE ALONE Jayla Jackson is a witch. Or is she? She dresses in black, has zero friends, is super-smart, and doesn't fit in. But that doesn't make her a witch… …right? When Jayla's English teacher makes her class start writing in journals for class-but says they don't have to tell the truth in them-Jayla boldly declares that she's a witch. She starts making up spells, talking about her familiar (a ghost cat), and writing stories about all the terrible things she's done. She didn't mean to hurt anyone, she says, but that doesn't make her feel any better. Her English teacher just smiles and praises her for being creative. But Jayla has real secrets hiding underneath her made-up confessions. There is a witch in town. And Jayla must face her if she wants to save her family and her new friend, Lola, too.A middle-grade novel about finding one's own strength in the face of overwhelming magic. Read it now!
