eBook
(Hachette Children's April 7, 2011)
In the cottages around The Green sleeps a memory of long-dead hands that once wielded a terrible power.

On the eve of Bonfire Night it is nudged to wakefulness: a stranger all the way from Canada on a quest for family history; friends Jan and Kate's sortie into a long-closed attic to find debris for the bonfire on The Green. This is a community holding an uneasy truce between tourist interest in legends of witchcraft and the terrible reality of a fire that burned scores of cottages and their inhabitants years before. Bonfire Night looms; objectors say there hasn't been a bonfire on The Green since The Fire and there shouldn't ever be again.

Into her mind will flow the hatred that once consumed everything ....
