I enjoyed this book because it had magic in it and I like fantasy books. I would recommend the book to someone else! It was a great read!
This book was creative but started to get a little bit boring as the plot was taking to long someone else might preferred it better
Fiction, I like every part of it.
great fun and I recommend it to any one
An easy feel good read where the 'baddy' discovers the error of his ways and becomes a good guy.
This only happens after a magical adventure to find the secret of the knitwitch and the knitknot society.
A simple story line and easy to follow characters.
A nice read for KS2 children who struggle with the small font size in many children's novels. This book has a larger open font with a classic 'a' so may be easier to read for some children.
Knitting grannies and a bit of magic travel - what else do you need. An excellent read.
Thought this was a nice story. Will was my favourite character and the story shows how much he loved his Gran.
This was quite an exciting story about how Granny’s knitting was magic and Mr Fitchet was the bad character in the story.
I liked how Will was really adventurous and always trying to help the Grans
My favourite character is Holly because she is kind and likes children.My favourite part in the book is when Sophie said that she could hear a cat talk.
I liked this book so much that I read it twice! I never knew that ferrets were so naughty
It was fantastic! I would recommend it to anyone who likes exciting stories.
