October Book Club Pick

October Book Club Pick

October deserves something witchy, and this book promises to deliver a mix of Hocus Pocus and Practical Magic with The Salem Witch Trials. Two hundred years ago in the town of Sparrow, three sisters were sentenced to death for witchery. Now, each summer the witches return, stealing the bodies of three girls to seek their revenge - luring boys into the harbor to their deaths. This year, there's a new boy in town with no idea what's going on, and local Penny may be the only one who can save him.
