The McGunnegals are all strange, and it has been that way for
generations. They are too strong, or too fast, or too smart, and
odd things happened when they are around. The neighbors say they
are witches or devils, or have been snatched by changelings.
Mothers hold their children close when they walk by, fearing they
might catch the McGunnegal strangeness. But misfortune besets them
when their mother, Ellie, disappears, followed by their crazy
grandfather, but not before he reveals a family secret to Colleen
and Frederick - a secret that reveals the source of their
strangeness, and also threatens to cast the dark shadow of famine
on Ireland. He has opened a portal to the world of the Others,
where their mother has gone, and a dark creature - a goblin - has
come in her place and is spreading death and disease. They fall
through this portal, and find this strange land filled with dark
creatures that are crushing its people and now threaten to come
through the portal and take up their abode in the world of Men, as
they once did long ago. Yet in this dark world of oppression, this
poor family discovers who they are, and also what it means to be
truly human.
"The Witch and the Waking Tree" is the third book in The McGunnegal
Chronicles series, continuing where "Taming the Goblin" left off.
Twists and turns, dead goblin armies and giants, cracks in the
universe, phantasms and wishing wells, and tons of high adventure,
carry Colleen and Frederick far apart and back together again
through time and space and between worlds until they encounter the
ancient Witch that has ruled the Strange Land into which they have
fallen - and find her to be someone totally unexpected.
