The Witches
(Roald Dahl)
The witches exist. They live among us, working and getting dressed like any one. They are seemingly very pretty and very nice, but it's only an appearance... In truth, they detest the children and have only one goal in the existence: to eliminate them. But not killing them like any mortal. They make them disappear or transform them in stone statue, animal, etc. The narrator, a young boy whose we won't know the name, loses his parents in a terrible car accident. He will live with his only relation, his maternal grandmother.
This one will teach him the existence from the witches and will explain to him in details their actions, but also how to recognize them under their disguise. She will also speak to him about the Grand-High Witch, their chief, cruelest among all.

He discovers their malefic plan to exterminate all the little English, by transforming them into young mice thanks to poisonned candies.
He's then in its turn discovered and transformed into mouse. As he has able to escape, he runs look of the assistance of his grand-mother. Following a tour at the very least animated through the corridors and the kitchen of the hotel, both will manage to transform all the present witches into mouse.
