The Revenge of the Witch Hunter

Something huge and terrifying let out an awful laugh in the dark. Lewis bolted through the maze, feeling thin branches wrap around his hands and feet. Lewis screamed and tried to break free. The little twigs snapped and cracked.

Finally, a flashlight came on—and the boy saw bright red blood spilling out onto the broken twigs…

Going to Europe for the holidays, Lewis Barnavelt and his uncle Jonathan meet a distant relative in England—a cousin, Pelham. The sweet old man lives in a house that looks horrible, with the proud name Barnavelt Manor. And Lewis still doesn’t know how many terrible secrets those ancient walls are keeping…

Three years ago, one of the witch hunters accused Lewis’s ancestors of witchcraft and wanted to burn the unfortunate at the stake. Could the boy’s curiosity be what made the hunter’s ghost return? Can anyone defeat it—or will the whole Barnavelt family be doomed to perish?
