What do you get if you mix together two best friends, a witch's
curse and a haunted house? A spell-binding mystery from acclaimed
performer and bestselling author Carrie Hope Fletcher - star of
Andrew Lloyd Webber's Cinderella. They say children who are born on
Friday 13th are immune to evil spirits. Whilst Ivy and Maggie liked
to believe that was true, it didn't stop them checking for monsters
under their bed each and every night. Ivy and Maggie have been best
friends ever since they were born at exactly the same minute twelve
years earlier. They're always on the look-out for a new adventure

in the world.Or at least it was until children start to
mysteriously disappear and, even stranger, none of the grown-ups
seem to have noticed . . . It's up to the Double Trouble Society to
work out what's going on. All the evidence points to the old
mansion next door with strange green lights in the windows and a
new owner who looks suspiciously like a witch! Can Ivy and Maggie
solve the mystery of Hokum House and rescue their friends or will
they be next on the witch's list of victims?
