Summary: A witch
called Old Auntie is lurking near Dan's family's new home. He doesn't believe
in her at first, but is forced to accept that she is real and take action when
his little sister, Erica, is 'took' to become Auntie's slave for the next fifty
years"--
Review: A scary
tale that has a slight Hansel and Gretel vibe. When Dan and his family move
into a new home nothing is right about it- the woods, the house, the
creepiness. His younger sister, Erica, is even more afraid of her new home.
When the kids at school tell them the stories about girl that disappeared and
the witch who lives on the hill with her evil pet, Erica is petrified. She
starts to only talk to her doll and as everyone else in the house starts to act
different Dan starts to wonder what’s happening. One day he catches his sister
in the woods and as he sees something coming towards her he pulls her away and
leaves her doll there. His sister is so upset that when the witch catches her
alone and tells her to go with her she goes. As everyone starts to look for the
sister the horrifying real tale of the house starts to sound familiar. You
might want to leave the lights on at night after reading this story. Not for
the faint of heart.
