Concerned Parent
I have read these books. As a parent of children who are just beginning to read I will not let my children read these books. The books are well written don't get me wrong. In my opinion they are teaching our children the only way to solve problems and get what they want is through witchcraft. As parents it is our job to censor what our children are learning. Nothing personal against the author.
