“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 But Daniel’s seven-year-old sister Erica has become more and more withdrawn, talking to her lookalike doll.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”?

Amazing book. Too scary for my sister to read even though she wants too. Maybe when she is 12.

because it id the best

I found this ghost story and started to read it. I love this book it is a non stop action book but then it's a horror in seconds. I got hooked in seconds when I read it. Then I found out that the ghost in this story is a real ghost! I got a bit scared that old auntie is real. In conclusion I found this book very interesting.

i know i would give it a 5
