Isaiah "Ice" Abernathy has always worshiped his older brother, Seth. For years they've been not just brothers but best friends--and as Seth starts his senior year, Ice is eager to spend as much time with his brother as he can, making memories before Seth goes to college.

But when Seth announces he's leaving much earlier than expected, and then he misses an important event--one he'd promised to attend--it causes a major fight.

Filled with regret, Ice plans to apologize to Seth later the next day, but later never comes, as he finds out Seth was in an accident--one that leaves him in the hospital. And the doctors say he may never recover.

Racked by fear and guilt, Ice chooses to step up, defy the experts, and help Seth recover in a way only he can--by trusting in their bond and the undying love between two brothers.

Twelve-year-old Dory thought that detention with her frenemy, Mayling, and the school pest, Norman, was the worst thing that could happen to her...but she couldn't be more wrong.

While the detention trio cleans the science storage room, Dory accidentally drops an old glass jug that shatters and a foul-smelling, snake-like shadow escapes. Dory tries to convince herself that it was some kind of strange gas and that what she saw was just a hallucination. But then she catches a glimpse of the eerie shadow in a neighbor's garden, and soon garden vegetables, cats and even kids begin disappearing in her town. Only when she translates the broken bottle's label does she understand what she has done: By dropping the old glass jug, she has released the most malevolent of evil witches. Putting the witch back into a bottle is the only solution--but what if there's more than one witch loose in Brimley?
