We all have dreams and sometimes nightmares, usually forgetting them quickly, but this witch feels real to Charlie.
So much so when she threatens in one of his dreams to take him away Charlie decides she is stating a fact.
Life was not always like this.
Charlie lived happily with his parents and younger brother Jack in Cypress Creek, but his mum became ill and died.
When herbalist Charlotte DeChant moved into the old mansion just down the road it was not long before she and Charlie's dad were married.
Charlie is not thrilled to have a stepmother because he is still mourning his mum's death, and something about Charlotte doesn't seem quite right to him.
Could she be the witch?
Actor Jason Segel extends his repertoire in his first novel.
