From School Library Journal:
Grade 3-6 Eight-year-old Ellen knows that there is a witch living in her chimney, and on the night before Halloween she tumbles into the chimney, only to find not one witch, but two: crabby Weird Hannah and her young son, Rufus, a bumbling, would-be wizard. Rufus has lost his Uncle Whizoon's Medallion of Middle Magic and is frantic to recover it. Oddly enough, Ellen knows exactly where it isshe found it in her room that morning. Ellen is willing to restore the medallion on the provision that she be granted one wish. But fetching the medallion turns out to be trickier than Ellen anticipated: along the way she is accosted by ghosts and goblins, dunked into an icy pond, and snatched by the nightmarish Halloween Haunters. Illustrated with spiky, scratchy silhouettes, The Chimney Witches is fast-paced and smoothly plotted. What little readers see of Ellen's home life in the ``real world'' is right on target, but the family relationships are not well developed. Ellen's feelings about her older brother Richard's impending departure to a far-off school color her motives, but readers never see a closeness or enough interaction between the two to give enought foundation to her actions. Still, those readers who enjoy Ruth Chew's books, but aren't quite ready for those by Edward Eager (HBJ), will take to this one. Kathleen Brachmann, Highland Park Public Lib . , Ill.
