Goosebumps meets Lockwood & Co. meets Small Spaces in The Legend of Woman Hollering Creek, a middle grade horror story about a family in transition, a wandering ghost, and the forgiveness that might save them all.
Eleven-year-old Julian Penn is not very happy about leaving the only home he's ever known and moving to a spooky estate on the edge of San Antonio, especially since he had to leave all his memories of Papaw behind, more especially when he learns the estate is haunted by a woman from a gruesome legend, and most especially when he sees the ghost right outside his window.
While all he really wants to do is put his head down and give it a year, like his dad told him, Julian's younger sister, Bella (the more adventurous of the two), wants to explore the woods, solve the problem of the ghost, and make the most of their time at Kingston Estate. And since Julian can't let her do all that alone (he promised Papaw he'd take care of her), he reluctantly goes right along with her.
When Mom dips her toes in the creepily-named Woman Hollering Creek that runs through the woods, giving the spirit unintended permission to steal Julian and Bella right from their beds, Julian faces a choice: keep his head down and risk the same terrible fate as the ghost's children, or try to defeat a terrifying, unpredictable, powerful ghost?
