![]() ![]() ![]() Recently, some smug critics have written off Dahl because a few of his books feature tinges of racism (and some full frontal racism), most notably The B.F.G. I've got a short rant for you, then we’ll get started. If I ever answer my own 7 Questions, The Witches by Roald Dahl would be one of my top three books and Roald Dahl would probably be my choice for lunch date. I love all middle grade books, as you know, but this is the one I read when I was in the third grade that completely seized my imagination forever and hooked me on reading for life. Yes, you read that correctly, and no, I don’t consider it a slam to the other books I've reviewed. Why so important? The Witches by Roald Dahl is my favorite middle grade book of all time. But as this week is nearly over, I’m just going to push those interviews back a little longer and focus instead on a very important Book of the Week. I'll begin posting those again as of next week and we’ll return you to your regularly scheduled ninja. Happy Halloween, Esteemed Reader! I've got some great writer interviews and interviews with literary agents coming up. ![]()
