APPEALS TO: SOME
Anna Grimsbane is eager to join the family business of hunting witches. Well, the women in their family hunt witches - the men are considered to be frail and prone to death all because of a curse placed on them generations earlier. When her twin, Billy, disappears the night before their 13th birthday, she knows he has gone into the forest to find the witch responsible for the curse in order to break it himself. Anna wants to gather her best friends to help her find him. What she doesn’t know is that each friend has an ulterior motive for joining the search.
Anna and her friends are chaotic at best as they roam the forest looking for Billy. I liked the cast of characters they encountered along the way more than I liked the children. I also liked the needed resolution for the curse very much. I am just not certain that many readers will persist through the friend drama.
