Hearkening back to classic children's rhymes and tales of enchantment, THE POMEGRANATE WITCH is the charming and darkly expressive tale of a gang of plucky neighbourhood children determined to get their share of delicious, ripe, red pomegranate fruits, and the terrifying "witch" who carefully guards her precious tree against their increasingly elaborate attempts. With impeccable rhyme work and clever, engaging wordplay, author Denise Doyen offers a bewitching, satisfying poem rich with both fright and delight. Complemented perfectly by the illustrations of rising star, Elisa Wheeler, THE POMEGRANATE WITCH has the potential to become a modern classic.

Told in rhyming text, a gang of neighborhood children make a determined effort to seize some of the pomegranate fruits from the magnificent tree by the scary, run-down farmhouse--but the tree is guarded by a scary "witch," except on Halloween, when her "sister" welcomes trick-or-treaters.
