A family that cannot afford to feed themselves faces a dilemma. The mom decides to take the kids into the woods and leave them to fend for themselves thus not having to support them anymore. Eventually the kids wonder and come across a house made of candy owned by a witch that traps them and wants to eat them. I truly enjoyed this book because it was dark and scary at times. It was fun to get taken away in this strange twisted world of betrayal ( )
