Description

On a stormy night, a foolish dare leads Patricia, her little brother, and two friends to a crumbling haunted house—where three sinister witches wait in the shadows. What begins as a childhood adventure soon reveals a terrifying secret: the Witching Hour. Once every thirteen years, on Friday the thirteenth, the clock strikes thirteen. During that single mystical hour, any child thirteen or younger may make one wish—and it will come true.

But wishes can twist destiny.

Years earlier, Patricia’s mother made a wish during the Witching Hour and nearly lost everything when greed and temptation transformed her dream into a nightmare ruled by cruel witches. Now the hour has returned, and Patricia must face the same supernatural test.

As the witches Hissy, Missy, and Kissy hover nearby, eager to manipulate her choice, Patricia must decide what truly matters. Will she make a selfish wish—and suffer the witches’ curse? Or will she outsmart them before the thirteenth hour ends?

Blending eerie adventure, poetic storytelling, and vivid illustrations, The Witching Hour – Remember When… is a haunting tale about temptation, courage, and the power of choosing wisely.

Because some wishes can change your life forever.
