“There were so many things about this place that didn’t add up – none of them good: the silent forest, the pale faces, the mysterious prowler, that giant tree out front.” Out of desperation, Irish orphans Molly and Kip have become servants at the Windsor mansion but something menacing is draining the life of the family who live here.
At the heart of this ghost story stalks a magical stranger who leaves footprints and nightmares behind. The mysterious tree grants wishes to Constance, Bertrand, Penny, and Alistair Windsor for a deadly price. Auxier masterfully lures you into this ghostly place spinning a morality tale about being careful what you wish for. Grades 5th and up.
