Hoodoo

<DIV><DIV><DIV><DIV><DIV><DIV><DIV><DIV>Twelve-year-old Hoodoo Hatcher was born into a family with a rich tradition of practicing folk magic: hoodoo, as most people call it. But even though his name is Hoodoo, he can't seem to cast a simple spell.  <DIV>      Then a mysterious man called the Stranger comes to town, and Hoodoo starts dreaming of the dead rising from their graves. Even worse, he soon learns the Stranger is looking for a boy. Not just any boy. A boy named Hoodoo. The entire town is at risk from the Stranger’s black magic, and only Hoodoo can defeat him. He’ll just need to learn how to conjure first.  <DIV>      Set amid the swamps, red soil, and sweltering heat of small town Alabama in the 1930s, <I>Hoodoo</I> is infused with a big dose of creepiness leavened with gentle humor.   <DIV><DIV> </DIV></DIV></DIV></DIV></DIV></DIV></DIV></DIV></DIV></DIV> <DIV>
