William and the Witch's Riddle

(3) 4-6 Illustrated by Lee Wildish. A witch arrives at twelve-year-old William's cottage and then threatens his little brother, leading William to complete his late father's quest and solve the witch's riddles to rescue his mother from an enchanted sleep. William's ally, humorously eccentric dwarf Tuli, is an effective counterpoint to the witch's eerie menace, while echoes of "Sleeping Beauty" enliven this highly inventive tale pitched toward middle-grade readers.
