A magic hamper opens onto a rescue mission

Seventeen-year-old Tanner writes about the frightening night she experienced at thirteen, when her baby brother disappeared into a magic hamper while she was babysitting. Believing she knows where he went, she sets out to find him before her parents return. Her search leads to the Art District, where a secondhand blouse becomes part of a bargain involving her brother and cat, and an old witch has plans of her own. With Viola, a young girl she befriends, Tanner works to bring magic back to the district. The setup combines a family rescue, a witch encounter and remnants of the now-defunct Lumpin Family Circus in a young adult horror adventure.

Good fit for readers who enjoy

  • Teens and young adults interested in horror fiction
  • Readers who enjoy stories involving magic, witches and rescue missions

Book overview

Tanner is seventeen now, but writing about the horrifying experience of being a thirteen-year-old babysitter who's lost her baby brother down the throat of a magic hamper. Thinking she knows where he might have disappeared to, she embarks on a journey to save him before her mom and dad return home from their dinner and a movie special. If they survive, she is going to demand that she be paid for babysitting from now on!

The Lumpin Family Circus had seen its last days after the magicians grew tired and old but Tanner sneaks out of her window and dares a trip to the Art district. She's finds more than she's bargained for. By bargaining, I mean trading a secondhand blouse for her brother and cat in return. But the old witch who runs Nan's curiosities has other plans. Tanner befriends a young girl named Viola and they work together to bring magic back to the Art District.

Take a journey through one of Jay Horne's Stephen King-inspired scary stories and face down a witch during the rescue mission.
