Bodhi Bagsly: The Curse of Pumkin Stone

Pumpkin Stone is a village unlike any other.Its streets wind beneath a harvest moon that never feels quite right, its lanterns glow with uneasy fire, and its people live under a shadow they dare not name. When the curse falls, neighbors vanish into the vines, their laughter twisting into silence, their faces never the same when they return.Fourteen-year-old Bodhi Bagsly has always lived in the shadow of that curse. When a carving of his-a wooden wolf-stirs with a strange, living fire, Bodhi finds himself pulled into a story far older and darker than he imagined.With Tibby, whose clockwork hare ticks with uncanny life, Fergus, who can coax the roots themselves to obey, and Nyssa, a witch with secrets tangled deep in the marsh, Bodhi must follow the signs before the curse swallows everything.But something else walks the fields.A living shadow, patient and watchful, whispering of debts long owed.Pumpkin Stone remembers.And it will not let its children go easily.
