I love how suspenseful this book is, and how well thought out this whole story is. All book by Mary Downing Hahn is amazingly written and I love horror, so this book was amazing.

“Folks say Old Auntie takes a girl and keeps her fifty years—then lets her go and takes another one.”
Thirteen-year-old Daniel Anderson doesn’t believe Brody Mason’s crazy stories about the ghost witch who lives up on Brewster’s Hill with Bloody Bones, her man-eating razorback hog. He figures Brody’s probably just trying to scare him since he’s the new kid . . . a “stuck-up snot” from Connecticut. But Daniel’s seven-year-old sister Erica has become more and more withdrawn, talking to her lookalike doll. When she disappears into the woods one day, he knows something is terribly wrong. Did the witch strike? Has Erica been “took”?

Scary, sad, and heartbreaking all at the same time. Mary Downing Hahn delivers yet another masterpiece. A wonderful work.
It is REALLY spooky and has a lot of suspense, it is one of my favorite books from this author and I recommend it if you are into horror.
I love this book, It is really good. But I would say that you probably shouldn't read this until your at least 11.

One of my favorite books I’m in 6th and the last chapter makes no sense is it talking about anti or antis sister
it was okay. but confusing. especially the last chapter. I dont recommend it. no offense
Hello. I just finished the book and its ok. It isn't scary enough. And the last chapter (Summer- two years later) makes absolutely no sense, no offense. And Im in 5th grade, I understand stuff and I am smart but I still can't comprehend what this means. I guess I'd recommend it to people who will understand. Thank you for taking 1 minute out of your way to read this.
