The blue nosdd witch
The Blue-Nosed Witch was written by Margaret Embry, with pictures by Carl Rose, and originally published in 1956.
It is a sweet little story that young children will enjoy. Blanche and her little cat Brocket are the cutest touch to this warm and fuzzy Halloween tale from the past.
Blanche, a real witch, though a young one had a nose that glowed a marvelous blue in the dark. One Halloween, cruising on her broom with her black cat, Brockett, she found a band of children and joined them on their trick-or-treat forage.
This is a very short and fun children's book about a young witch named Blanche who is compulsively late but has a special feature about herself. Her nose can light up (like Rudolph) to a blue-colored glow. One Halloween night, Blanche sets her alarm clock ahead so she won't be late for the big Halloween flight with the other witches of Scurry 13. While flying over the town she notices some children dressed up and going trick-or-treating. The children take to her when they see her nose light up and they all go on some simple Halloween night adventures.

4. Emily - 3/5 - While "Talisman of Charlemagne" had a promising premise, the execution left me disappointed. The pacing was slow, with the story dragging on unnecessarily in some parts.

I think with some improvements in the writing style and character development, this book could have been better.
