Synopsis

When her widower father inherits a castlelike estate in the mountains of West Virginia, twelve-year-old Jen is thrilled. It seems like a wish come true. But she quickly realizes that not all change is positive. Her dad has a mysterious new girlfriend, Moura, who slowly drives a wedge between Jen and her father. Furthermore, Moura has an unusually strong—almost obsessive—interest in the antiques that fill the mansion, especially a beautiful glass globe that Jen finds hanging in a window. When Jen's cat accidentally breaks the globe, which Moura calls a "witch catcher," strange things begin to happen . . .

An odd-looking girl wearing a torn dress appears, seemingly out of nowhere, and Moura's behavior becomes more sinister, leading Jen to believe that her father is a pawn in an evil scheme. Soon Jen finds herself caught in the midst of a supernatural war, with the fate of an enchanted race—and her family—at stake.

Inspired by the age-old legend of witch catchers, Mary Downing Hahn brings a magical cast of characters to life in this compelling fantasy adventure.

Jen and her dad have moved into a castle — a real castle they inher......more

Hahn is such a wonderful author. A little dark most of the time, but I'm always dying to finish her books. Witch Catcher was so creative and you feel for the characters in their distress.

Goodreads review by Ira on March 22, 2015

Buku tentang anak manusia, peri dan penyihir dengan setting di rumah tua besar di dekat hutan. Hmmm, setting seperti itu memang cocok untuk cerita peri dan penyihir ya. Hampir semua cerita tentang peri yang saya baca mengambil setting seperti itu. Kali ini ceritanya tentang Jen dan ayahnya yang menda......more
