4.0 out of 5 stars Bed-Knob and Broomstick By:Norton, Mary, Feb 27 2004

Shirly (Cerritos, CA USA) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Bedknob And Broomstick (Paperback)

Bed - Knob and broomstick
By: Norton, Mary
Reviewed By: S. Chang
Period: P.5

Three children, Carey, Charles, and Paul are brothers and sisters that were sent to Bedfordshire to stay with their aunt. Very near their aunt's house, an old lady named Miss Price lives in a small house. On an early morning, the three children find Miss Price in pain with a broomstick next to her. Soon they find out that she is a witch and fell while practicing to ride on a broomstick. To prevent the children from revealing her secret, she put a spell on Paul's bed-knob. The spell was to take the children whenever they want if they twist the knob and wish. They take it home and twist the bed-knob and wish. But they don't end up getting quite what they want, only trouble, especially when they meet Emelius Jones.
This book, Bed ?Knob and Broomstick is included in one of my favorite books. I liked it because of many reasons, but most of all it's because it was unpredictable and adventurous. In most books, everything goes well most of the time and all the books seem to have almost the same story. But in this book, opposite from many other books that I have mentioned, almost everything goes wrong and is unpredictable. For example, who knew Paul was going to say, "It's hers. It's what she fell off. It's what she rides on.?Who knew they were going to meet Emelius Jones and get into all that adventure?
I say that this book is full of adventure. Especially when a dummy soars though the sky and save Emelius. I remember how they described that situation. In this book, some boys screamed, "A witch on a broomstick!?in the past of Bedfordshire. I always like it when they make the bed go somewhere. I also liked it when they went to the island of Ueepe. I liked that part because it made me think Carey and Charles wouldn't make it and Miss Price and Paul had already left. I felt as if I was with the 3 children and Miss Price.
Although this book comes in as one of my favorite books, it isn't a perfect book. I think every book has its pros and cons. What I didn't like about this book was when Emelius is over at Miss Price's house. I think I didn't really enjoy that part because of the wordings. How it was worded was very weird and it confused me. After I think about it, I don't remember much from that part. Nothing was made very clear to me. In my opinion, this book is a very good book except for this part in the book that I have mentioned.

5.0 out of 5 stars Bedknob and Broomstick, Mar 1 2001

By A Customer

This review is from: Bedknob And Broomstick (Paperback)

Our class enjoyed hearing our teacher read this story. She thought we might like it because we enjoyed "Harry Potter" last year. We liked it when the children travelled back into the past. It was good when Miss Price and Emelius fell in love and travelled back to Emelius's time

5.0 out of 5 stars Classic Tale of Magic and Adventure, Aug 14 2000

J.Blue (Seattle, WA) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Bedknob And Broomstick (Paperback)

I first read this book as a child, and it was one that I read again and again. Using a magical bedknob, the children in this story travel through time and space to ancient England, a desert island and more. I just bought this for my nine year old niece, who is a "Harry Potter" fan, but too young for most of the scarier titles that are sometimes suggested for fans of the series. Like all of the author's books, this one is exciting, but not scary, and is clearly the product of a gentler time.
