The Witches of Dredmoore Hollow by Riford McKenzie


Elijah isn't known for his bravery. As his father says, his imagination tends to get the better of him. But Elijah's imagination isn't to blame when his two strange aunts arrive at Dredmoore Hollow and whisk him away to stay with them, right after his parents suddenly leave town.

Elijah discovers that secrets and magic are part of the Dredmoore family legacy and there's no hiding from your roots--no matter how deep and dark and tangled they may be.

my 9 yr old son LOVED this book, we read it together twice, should be a big hit with Harry Potter & Lemony Snicket fans, mystery & humor & magic, what more could a kid ask for?

Also of note: this book is now one of the 5 finalists in the Mystery Writers of America's "Edgar Allen Poe Awards" for the kids category. A must-read for kids who dig twisty-turny offbeat tales.
