I''ve read and enjoyed The Morning Gift, A Song for Summer and The Dragonfly Pool by Eva Ibbotson, following recommendations by witchy_rachel , but until this past weekend, I'd never read one of her books aimed at younger children.

But Which Witch? is great! It's very neatly plotted and very funny ... and I'm not really a big fantasy fan (I still remember feeling disappointed on discovering the four Pevensie children headed off into a magical world of talking lions and fawns instead of down a secret passage after smugglers! :) ).  I'm really not sure how much appeal it would have to boys, given the story revolves around a wizard who needs to take a wife (his assistant tries to organise a contest in the vein of Miss World, lol), but I guess I'll find out when Gabe reads it! But I'll definitely try her other books aimed at younger readers now, as well as her other YA titles when I come across them. In fact, I've already started reading The Secret of Platform 13.
