Description
RIPPED FROM THE GRAVE! - On All Hallow's Eve, 1717, Mr. and Mrs. Van Winkle of Boston venture into a graveyard and make a startling discovery: a newborn baby boy, left to die in an open grave.
Rescuing the boy from certain death, the Van Winkles raise him as their own, giving him the name 'RIP.' As the child grows, Rip demonstrates a curious gift with plants; everything he touches seems to grow—like magic.
In 1730, young Rip sneaks into South Burying Ground and comes face-to-face with the ghost of William Blaxton, the legendary settler of Boston. Warning Rip that the city is in danger, the ghost gives Rip a mysterious gift—a pumpkin lantern with power over life and death.
With the help of Jonathan Edwards, a stern but secretive preacher, and Nathaniel, a talkative, know-it-all raven, Rip embarks on a desperate search for Feathertop, a legendary, pumpkin-headed scarecrow—the only person with the power to save Boston.
Pursued by Mistress Hibbins, a witch of unimaginable power, and hunted by Goodman Brown, a cunning corpse, young races across New England to become a most unlikely hero.

“Be warned, Smith has crafted something you won’t want to put down. So clever and fresh, this easily stands out as the most unique piece of fiction I’ve read in years.” -New York Times Bestselling Author, Jason. F. Wright
