When reading this book, I imagined myself sitting around a campfire with a cup of tea listening to an older man tell a story. I could almost hear his voice.Parker brings us this delightful tale with a seasoned storyteller feel. Reminiscing on a childhood prank, Randall always thought the spooky words spoken by the scary recipient of the prank performed by the hands of his friend were directed at him. As the story unfolds, we learn they may have been spoken for his friend. As time passes, his buddy Justin appears to be haunted by the events of that day in a way Randall was not. I do look forward to seeing how this all unfolds in the next part of the saga.Beyond the witch, this story tells of the pain and suffering two adolescent boys experience as their parents divorce. It is interesting how Parker crafts this story, relating events to the encounter with the old woman, or witch. I was looking for something, but can't really say what. I feel the saga has great potential as the gaps are filled in part 2.Overall, this was a quick read which kept me interested and left me wanting more.
