THE WICKED TREE, a MG dark fantasy that will appeal to fans of Jonathan Auxier's THE NIGHT GARDENER and Mary Downing Hahn's TOOK. If Tav wants to save his friends and family, he must go into the heart of the woods, find the Wicked Tree, and confront a most evil magic. With Harper's help, Tav pieces together the Kreet family history and discovers an ancient curse. Determined to help Edward, Tav enlists Harper, and they search the estate for clues to Edward's identity and how to help him. Afraid, and unable to speak, Edward scrawls 'Wicked Tree' on the ground. There, they meet a mysterious, mute boy named Edward who lives in a decrepit cabin nearby. On a dare, Tav ventures farther into the woods with his new friend, Harper. Soon, the dreams change from pleasant to dark and menacing. After secretly exploring the woods, Tav begins having dreams about a supernatural tree.

But like most eleven-year-olds, he just can't resist. When Tavorian Kreet and his mom move in with his great-grandmother, Tav is forbidden to go into the woods on the estate. Held in place by the magic of a long-ago patriarch, it has waited centuries to lure a descendant into its trap. Its thick, black trunk twists angrily up into the night sky. Book Synopsis Deep in the woods, a gnarled tree grows.
