Rating: 4 out of 5

Main Character Gabe, has epilepsy from a childhood injury. His brother Sam, was pushing him on a swing and gave him too hard of a push which sent him flying into a brick foundation. He had just moved into a new house, is in a new state, and is starting a new school. No easy feat for a teen that believes he's a freak. Ever since his accident his mother has been overly protective of him. Sam is jealous of the attention that is paid to Gabe and likes to bully him. Gabe's dad is there for him and trying to get his wife to lighten up a little bit and give Gabe the freedom he needs to grow and be a normal guy.Gabe meets his neighbor Ellie, when he is sitting outside drawing one of his comics in his backyard and she comes up and wants to see what he is doing. She is interested and appreciative of Gabe's talent. Ellie tells him the story of the woods cursed behind their house by the Brynmor Witch. While in the woods Gabe has an "auora" and when he finally shares what happened with Ellie she is of the belief that her and Gabe are some how connected to the Witch. Gabe also has to deal with all of his new classmates which suddenly seem to take an interest in him. Is it a good thing or a bad thing?There really isn't a dull moment in this book. It flows along well and keeps you interested the whole time. Wether it is Gabe's story of Mabon's, it's always exciting. The story wasn't too immature and the character is very believeable. The only thing I didn't like was the ending, LOL. It leaves you hanging and wondering what is going to happen to Gabe and what happened to Mabon. And where is the Brynmor Witch? Guess that means I will be keeping an eye out for Into the Mist: Bringer of the Dawn, coming in 2013...
