The author has taken an old classic fairy tale, Hansel and Gretel, and rewritten it for the 21st Century. It
has all the classic elements but with a modern flavor. Two siblings, Eleven year old Sol and eight year old
Connie are left to solve the mysteries of their new neighborhood. Fay Holaderry, the odd old lady next
door and her bone fetching dog named Swift, keep these sleuths busy. Who will be the witch’s next
meal? Who can the Blink children trust? Will they solve the mystery of the femur that Swift has dug up?
The readers will journey through riddles and chilling adventures before this tale ends.
A great addition to any scary story collections without the graphic and gore.
