by Sylvie Perry

Claudia Morgan is a single parent trying the best that she can, but her four-year-old son, Henry, is a handful. When Claudia hears about a school with an atypical teaching style, she has to visit. The Hawthorne School is good for Henry. But there's something a bit off about the school. When Henry brings home stories of ceremonies in the woods and odd rules, Claudia's instincts tell her that something isn't quite right, and she begins to realize she's caught in a web of manipulations and power.
