Witch Friend by Colin Thompson

Witch Friend by Colin Thompson - 234 pages
The Floods - book 3

Betty Flood has finally found a real friend.  The Floods have new neighbors and both family's lives are going to be better because of it.

This is the third book in the series.  I didn't think it was as good as the first two books -- mainly because it didn't have a cohesive story through the whole book.  It was more of vignettes.  Still I enjoyed the book and will probably continue reading the series.

The Floods: School Plot by Colin Thompson

School Plot by Colin Thompson - 249 pages
The Floods #2

The Flood children all attend Quicklime College, the premiere school for witches and wizards in the universe.  They excel at school, especially Sports Day, where they are loved by all - except for Orkward Warlock.  Orkward has a plot to rid the world of the Floods forever.

This is really more of a story of Orkward than of the Floods.  It focuses on Orkward and his only friend Toad.  Still, it was a great second book in the series and I look forward to book three.

Good Neighbors by Colin Thompson

Good Neighbors by Colin Thompson - 214 pages
The Floods #1

The Floods live a nearly perfect life.  They love their home.  It's perfect for them.  Except for one thing -- the neighbors.  The Dents are the worst possible neighbors for anyone.  But what can be done?

I loved this book.  It reminded me of the Addams Family -- one of my favorite shows.  The Floods are a family of witches that are slightly creepy but very kind and loving.  The way they deal with the Dents is amusing.  This would be a great series for kids in elementary school.
