The Witches of Dredmoore Hollow — Riford McKenzie

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.
