Which Witch, written by Eva Ibbotson, is a fiction novel for children. The listing and reviews found on Amazon recommend this book for readers of at least nine years of age. It is also recommended for students in grades five through nine. Depending on the reading level and social maturity of the reader, this book may be appropriate for someone younger or older than the intended age group.
The book is about a famous wizard who wishes to marry the most evil witch in all the lands. There isn't any explicit content, but some of the details (rats, snakes, and a necklace of human teeth) might be disturbing for younger readers. Your initial question was whether this book would be appropriate for sixth graders, and I think so! Especially around Halloween time. Despite the creepy content, the story is quite whimsical, even comical.
