Synopsis
Nominated for the Edgar Allan Poe Award for Best Juvenile Mystery
When his two strange aunts arrive at Dredmoore Hollow, eleven-year-old Elijah finds his life turned upside down. His parents suddenly leave town, and he’s whisked away to stay with Serena and Agnes on Moaning Marsh, where they run the world’s most mysterious beauty salon. Not to mention their creepy hired man, his beastly pet, and the three unusual girls who are their only customers. Elijah discovers that secrets and magic are part of the Dredmoore family legacy, and there’s no hiding from your roots no matter how deep, dark, and tangled they may be.

Reviews
Grade 4–6—It comes as a shock to 11-year-old Elijah to find his Aunt Serena and Aunt Agnes descend upon his family since his mother had never told her husband or son that she had siblings. Fifteen years earlier, the women had quarreled, were under a curse, and had broken a magic cauldron. And now the aunts have come because they needed their nephew to reverse the spell. These truly evil women "remove" his parents, kidnap him, and take him to their fiendish, squalid house to do their dastardly deeds. Unable to escape, he is put under spells, but discovers that he, too, has magical powers. It's a good thing because time after time Elijah and his new friend, Dez, are in deep trouble and need magic to escape. Set in 1927, the book has continuous action and piles of demonic atmosphere. While it lacks the sardonic wit found in Roald Dahl's gleeful tales about witches, it does have lots of suspense. And, at the end, timid, resourceful Elijah turns into a hero.—Lillian Hecker, Town of Pelham Public Library, NY
