William and his little brother, Pinch, have been left alone at their home atop the mountain. When a witch named Morga shows up, William is forced to embark on a terrifying journey, the worst part of which is Morga herself. She has three riddles for William to solve, with only the help of an odd fellow who wakes up a different size every day and a tiny yellow dragon who can dream storms into reality.
Three riddles.
Three chances to lift an ancient curse.
Three chances to save his family.
Part fantasy and part fairy tale, and sprinkled with charming black-and-white illustrations, William and the Witch's Riddle is a loose retelling of Sleeping Beauty and an adventure that's just right for middle graders.
