Book Extract:
Old Mrs Cho raises her hands and begins to mutter the spell.
'A pure heart under a harvest moon, will receive a gift that makes darkness bloom. Kindness
will unleash a power,
that only selfish hands can sour.'
Just then, a cold wind springs out of nowhere, disrupting the neat piles of leaves and they scatter across the lawn. Ryan bends over to pick up a leaf that has landed on his shoe. As he holds it, there is a strange crackling sound - the same as a chip packet being opened. 'What the!' Ryan exclaims, because he is no longer holding a leaf. Instead, Ryan stares at a five-dollar note.
