The Witches In class, we read the book, The Witches. The story is about witches that turn children into mice because they hate kids. Turning children into mice took exactly 26 seconds and when you turn into a mouse it is painful because you shrink, grow fur and grow a tail. Wutches have other evil things they do to children like trapping them in paintings. Luckily, one of the witches didn't hate kids, and she saved one of them by turning him into a human again! When a witch saves a child she turns into a human.
We also watched the movie so we could compare them. One difference between the book and the movie was in the end of the book, the boy didn't turn back into a human but in the movie, he did. Another difference was that in the book the grandma had pneumonia and in the movie she had diabetes.
It's a good story if you like adventure. On a scale of 1 to 10 (1 being "I hated it" and 10 being "I loved it") I would rate it a 9 because there were some parts that were too gross for me, but most of it I LOVED!

I would agree that there were lots of differences between the book and the movie. Some parts were a little gruesome, but over all, it was great, like you wrote!!
