Bookroo's summary

Daniel's new home borders eerie woods rumored to hide a ghostly witch and her beast. When his sister Erica disappears, Daniel must confront the chilling legends to rescue her. Are the tales true, or is something else at play? As he ventures into the dark forest, Daniel faces a terrifying mystery that could change everything. Will he find Erica before it's too late, or will the witch claim another victim? Dive into this spine-tingling graphic novel where every shadow hides a secret and every step could be Daniel's last.

From the publisher

Daniel doesn’t believe the woods behind his new home are haunted by an evil witch and her terrifying beast. But then his little sister disappears . . . and it’s up to him to find her. This chilling graphic-novel version of Mary Downing Hahn’s popular page-turner will thrill readers who love spooky stories.They say that a ghost witch lives in the woods, up on the hill. They say her companion has a pig skull for a face and stands taller than a man, his skeleton gleaming in the moonlight. They say that the witch takes young girls, and no one ever sees them again. Daniel doesn’t believe the stories. He figures the kids on the bus are just trying to scare him since he’s new. Still, he wishes his family had never moved here–their house is a wreck, Mom and Dad keep fighting, and his little sister, Erica, spends most of her time talking to her creepy doll. But when Erica disappears into the woods one day, Daniel knows something is terribly wrong. Has she been “took”?
