In pursuit of “the world’s most awesome tree house,” best friends Matt and Jerry spend the summer after sixth grade hauling wood up the hillside of their Pennsylvania hometown. The boys’ freedom is tempered by trying to avoid the attention of Trio Diablo, a menacing gang of teenagers. Their summer soon changes when they venture into the hollow on the other side of the hill. The friends stumble upon a sinister witch and her raving captive—but everything is not as it seems! An unsettling discovery forces Matt and Jerry to confront serious adult issues and even real danger. The boys navigate difficult situations and learn to face fear and change in this coming-of-age tale.
