It's Gemma's first day at school and she's frightened. Class Three look to be very large and particularly intimidating and Gemma doesn't dare to go into school. Help is at hand though – well, they like to think that they're helping! The witch's children go into the playground with Gemma and the Eldest One turns Gemma into an ogre.
I'd like to thank the publishers for sending this book to The Bookbag.
We've seen a number of books which tackle the fear of those first days at school but this is probably one of the best. On the general theme of fears we loved [[Little Mouse's Big Book of Fears by Emily Gravett]]. For a story about learning how to do something difficult it would be difficult to beat [[Little by Little by Amber Stewart and Layn Marlow]] but if it's witches you're interested in then have a look at [[My Unwilling Witch (The Rumblewick Letters) by Hiawyn Oram|My Unwilling Witch]]. If you're into ogres, try [[Ogres Don't Dance (Ogden the Ogre) by Kirsty McKay]].
