I enjoyed this book because Kiki had to leave her family because she was a witch. Then she found a town. Then she made a delivery service that people went to drop stuff to her so then she would drop it off. I would recommend it to people.

This was an amazing book it really got me lured into it. Kiki is a witch she has an idea to set up a delivery service and on each chapter she will go on an extraordinary journey. My favourite character is Jiji (Kiki's pet cat) he's such a cute black cat.

This was such a lovely book!!! I loved the story line and how it was very relatable to normal life- even if Kiki was a witch!!! I liked the adventures Kiki got up to and Jiji (her cat) was funny!! I liked how this book was originally Japanese as it bought really nice culture into the book! I would recommend definitely!!!

I liked the illustrations and characters, especially Jiji the cat, because he was very playful, clever and funny (like me!). Kiki was a girl witch who delivered all sorts of things to people, after she left her home to set up her own life in a new town. The story tells you all about her adventures, feelings and thoughts about starting her new life and missing home. I would recommend it to people who like witches and adventures in far away places.
