It's not easy being an eleven-year-old pacifist, especially when your Dad's in the Army. Adam is bullied at school, and just wants a quiet life. But he gets more than he bargained for when his artist mother drags him and his younger sister to stay in an old house near the New Forest for the summer holidays - and it has no TV, and no Internet! Just a huge garden, some injured animals - and lots of very old trees. Adam is quickly drawn into a world where the ancient trees reveal shadowy creatures named Watchers, and they desperately need his help to get rid of an evil witch who has been taking the lives of young girls to keep herself youthful and beautiful. When his sister is kidnapped, Adam and his new friends must rise to the challenge to try to rescue her, and he finally begins to understand why his father is prepared to fight to protect the people he cares about.
