“Folks say Old Auntie takes a girl and keeps her fifty years—then lets her go and takes another one.”
Thirteen-year-old Daniel Anderson doesn’t believe Brody Mason’s crazy stories about the ghost witch who lives up on Brewster’s Hill with Bloody Bones, her man-eating razorback hog. He figures Brody’s probably just trying to scare him since he’s the new kid . . . a “stuck-up snot” from Connecticut. But Daniel’s seven-year-old sister Erica has become more and more withdrawn, talking to her lookalike doll. When she disappears into the woods one day, he knows something is terribly wrong. Did the witch strike? Has Erica been “took”?

nice work i bet you love it
It seems scary I LOVE SCARY
CREEPY
love this book
i'm just starting the book it awsome so far you should read it but don't spoile it for other poeple like some people did
the doll is cursed because it whispers only to Erica and Old Auntie sies on the little girl and she talks to Erica and Auntie cursed the doll and she made the doll tell Erica to go in the woods with her every day after school so she can snatch Erica and make her her slave for fifty years
The book was so awesome. I cried at the end when she was like "Mommy!"
I LOVED this book.It was amazing!! When I read when little Erica was a talking doll I got so creeped out.Old Auntie is very rude and cruel.Daniel really cares for Erica but until he regrets it.Brody..... I will say he is kinda help ful.Selene was creepy. She actually loved Old Auntie.If I was Erica I would tell my parents about everything and moved back where i lived.I would give this book 5 stars .I LOVED this book
