Synopsis:
When Jamie's home burns down, his parents send him to live with family in Crownhill for a while. He starts getting scary dreams about an old woman and the people he's staying with seem to be hiding something.
Review:
This book had me hooked in, wondering what was next and trying to figure things out before they were revealed. The book is scarier than most for the age group of 10-14. If your child scares easily you may want to wait a few years more. Before most of the chapters, there is a little blurb about a town witch, written as if it was written back in the 1500's during the witch craze. It's hard to explain so here's a little: "The witch was found at her lair on the hill where she was consulting with her familiar, the cat named Chub. It was clear from the leaved of herbs around about that they were preparing some more injurious mischief to inflict upon one person or another."
Accuracy:
Witches in this book are evil old hags who use curses on other people for their own gain. Their familiars do their evil bidding. Although the blurbs mentioned above mention Satan (spelled Sathan, not sure why,) in the actual text of the book it is mentioned that witches don't really believe in Satan, that he's a product of Christianity. It also explains that those burned and hung during the witch craze weren't actually witches.

[url=http://www.xanax4less.com/]alprazolam no prescription[/url] Some of the more common complaints include but are not limited to hives, fatigued, loss of coordination, rashes, suicidal ideation, hallucinations, ataxia, short term memory loss, and more. This well known medication was first approved for the treatment of panic attacks, but today it is also used to treat anxiety and a wide variety of other conditions. Many doctors and patients prefer Xanax to other similar drugs because it is effective very quickly.
