Fall under the spell of the Lord of the Wood and uncover the dark past of a village that will go to any lengths to ensure its maidens stay good.   In the small town of Winston, Pennsylvania, they fear the Lord of the Wood almost as much as they fear God. According to legend, ghosts of the nearby forest steal unattended babies, leaving enigmatic tokens of wood and bone in their place. Leah Jones didn't believe the legend, thinking it just a way to scare the local kids-until her baby brother disappears.   Filled with shame and the weight of the town's judgment, Leah crosses the river into the Lord of the Wood's domain to bring her brother back. But the devilish figure who has haunted Winston for generations isn't what she expects. He tells her she can have her brother back... for a price.

Cyrano de Bergerac meets Beetlejuice in this story perfect for fans of supernatural small-town horror, witty ghosts and amateur teenage sleuths. There's a ghost haunting Drew Tarpin's new room. Liam Orville has been dead for ten months and has no idea how to move on. But the longer he stays, the more likely it is he'll degrade into an energy consuming husk-which Drew is more concerned about than her grades or her inability to make meaningful connections with other students.   Drew is everything Liam never was when he was alive, but they do share some common ground: Drew finds herself hopelessly attracted to-and completely tongue-tied around-Hannah Sullivan, who happens to be Liam's former best friend.   After a run-in with a ghost-eating monster leaves Drew and Liam desperate for answers, they strike up a deal: In return for Drew investigating why Liam is still around, he'll help her talk to Hannah. But Liam's time is running out, and if Drew doesn't help him move on, he risks becoming a monster himself.","brand":"Gardners","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":56369257054581,"sku":"9781835416495","price":9.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0612\/7193\/3106\/files\/9781835416495_3beeb9d8-c81a-49f0-9b6f-98d760eccf7d.jpg?v=1786027812"},{"product_id":"the-devil-makes-three","title":"The Devil Makes Three","description":"When Tess and Eliot stumble upon an ancient book hidden in a secret tunnel beneath the school library, they accidentally release a devil from his book-bound prison, and he’ll stop at nothing to stay free.
