The Witches' Antidote Sheryl Lynn Kimball

When fourteen-year-old best friends Evan and Valarie hear that a tiny deserted island in the Blackstone River is haunted by Abigail The Witch, they are determined to see it for themselves. Even though it's the middle of winter, they devise a way to get there to do some exploring. The trip is dangerous but well worth it. In the abandoned ruins of a old house, they discover a jewel-encrusted enchanted book. The magical book reveals that Abigail was a tragic victim of the Salem Witch Trials. Even now her restless spirit continues to seek revenge on the descendants of those who hurt her. The book's authors, the mystical Coven of Light, created their tome as a way to bring to rest spirits like Abigail who are trapped in limbo. Its message: if Evan and Valarie follow the book's instructions to the letter, they can both bring peace to Abigail and prevent her from claiming any more victims. But soothing restless spirits is rarely easy, and Abigail has had over 300 years to feed the flames of her anger. Evan and Valarie will have to draw on strength they don't even realize they possess if they are to survive the night and bring peace to a tortured soul.
