That is one of the most memorable lines from the movie The Wizard Oz. This week, I thought I would share some books for teens featuring witches. It is up to you to determine whether they are good or bad . . .
Akata Witch by Nnedi Okorafor
Twelve-year-old Sunny Nwazue, an American-born albino child of Nigerian parents, moves with her family back to Nigeria, where she learns that she has latent magical powers which she and three similarly gifted friends use to catch a serial killer.
Princess of the Midnight Ball by Jessica Day George
A retelling of the tale of twelve princesses who wear out their shoes dancing every night, and of Galen, a former soldier now working in the king's gardens, who follows them in hopes of breaking the curse.
Garden Princess by Kristin Kladstrup
Princess Adela, preferring plants and trees to idle chit-chat, attends a garden party hosted by Lady Hortensia and finds something is amiss in the Lady's garden.
Bewitching by Alex Flinn
Tells the story of Kendra, a witch, and the first three-hundred years of her life, including takes on a classic fairy tale, the 1666 plague in Britain, the "Titanic" disaster, and the story of a modern-day, plain stepsister.
Juniper by Monica Furlong
While apprenticed to the witch woman Juniper, a young girl struggles to save her family from the evil machinations of her power-hungry aunt Meroot.
