Not a winner. I was indifferent to author Jim Schisgall's story here, thought his writing was clunky, and found John Timmins' cartoon-like artwork quite unappealing. As someone who is interested in witchy picture-books - a perennial pet project of mine - I'm glad to have read this, but I'm not sure I enjoyed it enough to seek out the sequel, “The SandWitch Saves Christmas!,“ or to recommend it to other readers.
