The boo hag flex / by Justina Ireland ; series created by Justina Ireland & Hanna Alkaf. - First edition. - 199 pages ; 22 cm. - Tales from Cabin 23 ; 1 .
The first book in a new horror anthology series in which each entry will be written by a different author.
The last thing Tasha Washington wants is to move from her home in Savannah to a trailer park in Middle-of-Nowhere, Georgia. But when her mother dies and Tasha is taken in by her father--a man she's never met, who abandoned her mom when Tasha was just a baby--she doesn't have much of a choice. At least, she thinks, she won't have to spend much time with him--something that becomes clear when he dumps Tasha with her grandmother and disappears to be with his new girlfriend. The Shady Pines trailer park seems like a miserable place to spend a summer, even before an elderly neighbor suddenly passes away. But then Tasha meets a girl named Ellie who says she knows what really killed old Mr. Harold: a terrifying creature that stalks the trailer park at night, sucking the life from its victims. Tasha doesn't believe it, but when she discovers a book of hoodoo legends in her grandmother's trailer, and more people around Shady Pines start to appear unwell, she begins to fear the stories are true--and that danger is much closer than she thinks.
Ages 8-12.
