Sacrées sorcières #[nn]

Based on Roald Dahl's beloved story and brought to vivid life by Pénélope Bagieu, this 2020 Gallimard graphic adaptation of Sacrées Sorcières is a delightful treat for readers of all ages. The cover sets the tone perfectly: looming behind three wide-eyed, scrambling children — one clutching what appears to be a small mouse — is an enormous, shadowy witch face, all cold blue tones and unsettling eyes. Bagieu's expressive, bouncy art captures both the humor and the creepiness that make Dahl's world so irresistible.
