Bookroo's summary

Aiden, new in town and bullied, finds solace in a mysterious well. But when the well's dark magic starts wreaking havoc, Aiden must team up with an unexpected ally to stop the chaos. Can they uncover the well's secrets before it's too late?

From the publisher

Be careful what you wish for… It just might come true! New kid Aiden isn’t exactly thrilled about his family’s big move, but he finds a little bit of comfort when he wanders into the woods and discovers a hidden well. Whenever he visits the well, he feels like he can truly be himself. It’s a safe place where he can complain about his three school bullies and not feel alone. That is until the well starts taking revenge on behalf of an unsuspecting Aiden. Once Aiden figures out that the well and its ghoulish inhabitant might be behind all the disasters happening around town, Aiden decides it’s up to him, with the help of a surprising ally, to stop the flood of chaos.
