What to expect
The must-read middle-grade novel from the author of the super-spooky Dread Wood series. Perfect for 9+ fans of R.L.Stine’s Goosebumps and Stranger Things.
"Jennifer Killick has become the go-to horror writer for readers aged nine and over … readers are as likely to howl with laughter as with terror.”
– The Sunday Times
Welcome to Hazard. An ordinary town where strangeness is a way of life. A town where sink holes appear with no warning, where people go missing way too often and where things really DO go bump in the night …
To Travis and his classmates, Hazard is home. But when they’re set a school project to investigate the history of the town, they soon realise that something strange and alien lies beneath Hazard. What can they learn from their investigations into the mysterious witch in the woods? And – if the witch really does exist – will they make it home to tell the tale…?
