Description

Corinne La Mer isn't afraid of anything. Not scorpions, not the boys who tease her, and certainly not jumbies. Then one night in the forbidden forest Corinne sees shining yellow eyes, they couldn't belong to a jumbie, could they? When a beautiful stranger bewitches her father, Corinne realizes that this is the first step in a plan to claim the entire island for the jumbies. She must call on her courage and her friends and learn to use ancient magic she didn't know she possessed.

Professional reviews

"A spine-tingling tale rooted in Caribbean folklore that will have listeners holding their breath. “It’s refreshing to see a fantasy with its roots outside Europe . . . this is a book worth reading simply for its originality.” KIRKUS REVIEWS “A spine-tingling tale rooted in Caribbean folklore that will have readers holding their breath as they fly through its pages. Be forewarned! This tale isn’t some cozy, tropical vacation and it’s not for the weak at heart, oh, no! If you like spooky tales, this is the book for you. Corinne’s story is truly a welcome and refreshing edition to the world of fairytales.” VALERIE R. LAWSON"
