Publisher's Synopsis
Who's afraid of a witch's curse? Not 13-year-old Jacob "Jake" Finn. At least he didn't think so until a mysterious woman in black casts a dark spell on the most popular girl in school. Afraid, she turns to Jake for help, and he can't say no. With his wise-cracking, yet scaredy-cat, best friend, Leo Holloway, by his side, Jake must now face the forces of darkness to uncover the truth about the woman in black and her supernatural powers. But the clock is ticking, and Jake is running out of time. Can he save her before the stroke of midnight? Before the witching hour?
