Description

Twelve-year-old Hoodoo Hatcher was born into a family with a rich tradition of practicing folk magic. But despite his name, he struggled to cast even simple spells. Then a mysterious man called the Stranger arrived in town, and Hoodoo began dreaming of the dead rising from their graves. The situation took a darker turn when he discovered the Stranger was searching for a boy named Hoodoo. The entire town was at risk from the Stranger's black magic, and only Hoodoo could defeat him. However, he soon realized that to stand any chance, he needed to learn how to conjure. Set in small-town Alabama in the 1930s, this tale is infused with a mix of creepiness and gentle humor. Hoodoo is a story about a boy who must come to terms with his family's legacy and find the courage to defend himself against supernatural forces.
