Young children
Death! The children of the three witches of Bideford who were hanged in 1682 have vowed to kill all those people responsible for their parent’s deaths and their own murder by hanging based on trumped-up charges to cover up the crime of their local judge. However, it is not only those directly responsible that are cursed, but all their descendants as well. For Hugo Bennett and his family, that includes them.
Here's what readers have to say about this book....
First, a character that has my name which is rare it is always a plus! I didn't realize when I requested this that it is the third book in a series. However, the author did a great job of explaining the back story. This book is so captivating all the story plot you can simply put it down! The writing style helps a lot for people and kids who are not very into reading. Original review: https://www.netgalley.co.uk/publisher/title/216476/reviews
I didn't realize that this book was part of a series when I requested it and was initially concerned I would be really confused when I dove into the book upon that realization. However, the author does a great job of supporting readers with the backstory necessary for this world. This feature makes it a great choice for classroom libraries where students might not read books in order necessarily. The magic and whimsy of the world made it hard to put down and i think this would be great for more hesitant readers because of the pacing and language used within.
I didn't realize when I requested this that it is the third book in a series. However, the author did a great job of explaining the back story. I am normally not a quick reader, but this book was so good that I couldn't put it down. (Don't tell my boss, but I read instead of working today!) It felt like reading a magical bedtime story. So creative! I really wish I had read the first two books first, but I'll definitely be going back to read them now.
