No one was at the bus stop to get the children out of the violent winds, so they were on their own. Where were their parents? Why were the lights out and the phone lines cut at Mrs. Brown's house? What had happened to everyone? Who was walking upstairs in the old house? Was that a body they saw? Will they get caught? Follow the five children as they go through a terrifying time during the stormy night in Sleepy Hollow where things go bump in the night.

For years the children of Whitwick have been told the story of 'The Witch in the Woods' to keep them from entering it. In fact, it has been told for so long that no one knows if the story was true or not. Megan, Tommy, Ben and Kim decide to spend a night camping in the woods to see for themselves if she is myth or reality. However, the witch may not be the only danger hidden in the trees.

Harold Monkhouse is usually such an uncomplaining patient so when his brother Amos calls in one night, what he doesn't expect is to see him at death's door. Suspicions aroused, he demands an urgent second opinion. And when Harold is later found dead from arsenic poisoning, Amos is left in no doubt that foul play is afoot. The inquiry begins and Barbara Monkhouse is soon singled out as the prime suspect. What ensues is a roller coaster ride into crime fiction at its best as the truth of the fateful night eludes even the best of detective minds. Could it be a simple case of wife poisoning husband-or is it just possible that another shadowy figure stole into Harold's room, as a thief in the night, to rid the world of an innocent man?

A little boy named Dick was scared of nighttime noises. He could never fall asleep because of strange sounds he would hear, convinced it was a monster lurking in the dark. One night he decided he had had enough and, with his teddy bear named Fred, decided to find out what was making all the racket! What he discovered was someone not very scary at all and who was a lot like him. Someone just as scared of the noises in the night-someone who was looking for a safe place to stay and maybe a friend or two.
