Winner at the 2012 International Latino Book Awards. An entertaining and bewitchingly illustrated guide that will delight those who dare to venture into the mysterious witches' world.
Three days ago, my brother and I received the most mysterious letter from Aunt Amarga: "Dear niece and nephew, There's not much time left... Do you want to learn everything you've ever wanted to know but have never before known because nobody has ever known? In short: Do you want to know if witches really exist?"
Being a witch is hard work, especially because they have to keep it a secret all the time! Being evil, flying in those impossible broomsticks, mixing all kinds of plants together to create the perfect evil potions and spells... it is an enduring task! Aunt Margaret is a witch, and probably the only one left. That is why she decides to share this Witches Handbook with her nephews so that all the all-time secrets of witches don't go along with her!
Readers of all ages will laugh along as they learn everything about the magic world of witches.

Hace tres días, mi hermano y yo recibimos una carta muy misteriosa de tía Amarga. Decía así "Queridos sobrina y sobrina, no queda mucho tiempo... Queréis saber todo lo que siempre habéis soñado con saber pero que nadie os ha contado porque no lo ha sabido nunca? En resumen: queréis comprobar que las brujas existen de verdad?"
Ser una bruja conlleva mucho trabajo, especialmente porque nadie puede saberlo y hay que guardarlo en secreto todo el tiempo! Ser mala, volar en esas imposibles escobas, mezclar todo tipo de plantas para crear esa perfecta poción... no es nada fácil! La tía Amarga es una bruja, y probablemente sea la última que queda en este mundo. Por eso, decide compartir este Manual de Brujas con sus sobrinos, para que los secretos escondidos de las brujas no se pierdan jamás!
Una lectura perfecta para niños de todas las edades que sacará más de una sonrisa al descubrir todos los secretos del mundo secreto de las brujas.
