SOLVED. children's book about a pretty witch who thinks she's ugly until she breaks her tooth. [s]

[Taina]

This is for very young readers, maybe 4th grade at the most. She lives with her aunts, and they all have long noses, or pimples or something that makes them ugly. Except this little girl witch looks beautiful. She thinks she's ugly because she doesn't look like the others and doesn't want to fly with them.

One day, she gets on her broom and she falls and breaks a tooth (I think). Now she thinks she's a perfect witch.

[Taina]

Unfortunately, no. This story is told in the POV of the little girl. I think her coven (my word not the authors) is getting ready for Halloween.

I am looking for that exact same book! It was my favorite when I was little. did you ever figure out the name or author??? I have been trying forever to figure it out

The Not-So-Witchy Witch, by Anne Rock Munger?



An Amazon reviewer said this, in part: 'Any little girl would love this story about a Willow Green, young and pretty witch who wants to go out with the other witches on Halloween night but is "just too cute." Her mother makes a scary mask for her so she can go and then shows her how to fly. Willow Green, the cute witch, crashes on her landing and gets a black eye, skins her nose and loses a tooth. She is about to cry but all the other witches clap and cheer. "No need to wear the mask, they said, to join us in our flight. They picked her up and fixed her broom, and when she'd had her brew, they all took off into the night to do what witches do."' (http://www.amazon.com/not-so-witchy-w...)

The Not-So-Witchy Witch does look cute - but rare. :(

[Taina]

This might be it! That's what I remember happening, although I thought it was an aunt, not her mom. I do remember that she was flying and she fell, blacked her eye and broke a tooth. And she was happy.

Taina, That would be great if it's the book. Once you know for certain, please return and let us know. Thanks.

Perhaps THE SECRET OF PLATFORM 13 by Eca Ibbotson? It's by no means the main plot, but a small side story.

Taina, it looks like you moved this to Solved and added the book "The Not So Witchy Witch" - can you confirm that's your book? You need to leave a comment if someone guesses your book correctly. We don't automatically notice if you move a thread to Solved.
