A bewitching tale, weaving folklore with contemporary horror for a teen audience.
Sticks and stones will break your bones . . .
Something strange is happening in Merryweather-by-the-Sea.
Whispers in the playground abound – a spring-heeled phantom haunts the edge of the Wyrdwood, the ancient forest which surrounds the sleepy coastal town. But the Twig Man is the least of Kiki Harper’s concerns.
Returning home for the holidays, Kiki discovers a peculiar woman has moved into her family home, having stolen everybody’s hearts. Who is the beautiful Fay – and could Kiki's family really be bewitched?
