Description

Robin West has always wondered just what kind of artist her grandmother is. Yet when she finds out that Gram practices a family tradition of making hexes, known as Madder business, Robin's life gets far more complicated than she ever expected. Targeted by intolerant neighbors, Robin must protect herself and her loved ones from forces beyond her imagination.

A Note From the Publisher

Advance Praise

"The dialogue flows, and Hodgkins delivers a tale that maintains its pace throughout...the narrative pull is undeniable! YA readers should partake of Madder business as eagerly as if under a hex."
