SOME TREES GIVE SHADE.

THIS ONE GIVES NIGHTMARES.

When twelve-year-old Cade Doyle moves to Smithfield, Rhode Island, he expects the usual new-kid problems: finding friends, avoiding bullies, surviving school, and trying not to embarrass himself in front of the pretty red-haired girl next door.

What he does not expect is a dead tree sitting in the middle of the road like it owns the place.

Locals call it The Witching Tree, and the legend is simple enough: circle it three times, say the rhyme, and Agatha Corey appears. Then she chases you.

Which sounds ridiculous.

Until Cade actually does it.

Now the witch trapped inside the tree is awake, angry, and extremely interested in Cade’s family bloodline. Even worse, Cade’s father, the new town manager, wants the tree removed—which is exactly the kind of thing that makes ancient evil start sharpening its fingernails.

With help from his cousin Shay, the fearless Rory, the gentle giant Harald, Uncle Seth, and a heroic police dog named Shannow, Cade must uncover the truth behind Agatha Corey before Smithfield’s creepiest landmark turns the whole town into fertilizer.

Because some legends are fake.

Some are misunderstood.

And some are standing in the middle of the road, waiting for you to walk around them.
