Synopsis

Hugo is an adventurous nine-year-old boy who moves to the small seaside village of Westward Ho! on the coast of North Devon in the South West of England. His chance discovery of an unusual stone with a strange zigzag pattern that “hatches” into a weird large bird that is discovered to have magical powers starts him off on a dangerous and life-threatening adventure. He is confronted with evil repercussions resulting from the historic miscarriage of justice that led to the deaths of the last three women to be tried and hanged for witchcraft in England over three hundred years previously. On his dangerous journey, he meets many strange characters and has to take his own life and those of his friends in his hands if he is to rescue the tooth fairy from the clutches of a revenge-seeking witch bent on destroying all those who caused her death as a girl and anyone who gets in her way.

About the Author

Jeff Mills is a dentist and facial consultant who has lived in North Devon in the South West of England for over forty years. He is married to Anne, with two children, now grown up. It was when these children were small that he started telling them stories featuring a nine-year-old boy called Hugo and a mysterious, fictitious birdlike animal that had certain magical powers. Many of the authors relations lived long distances away, and so it was to occupy his children and while away the hours driving to and from them that Hugo and his magical friend was born. As the children grew, Hugo faded but never disappeared completely. At the beginning of 2014, the weather was abysmal, and it never seemed to stop raining, and out of boredom, Hugo was suddenly resurrected. The story was never planned and seemed to write itself, as if Hugo himself was writing it. The ending was as much a surprise to the author as it will be to you.
