**** I received an advance copy of this book from the publisher in exchange for an honest review. A boy named Hoodoo.Ĭan he summon the magic to save his town and family? Even worse, he soon learns the Stranger is looking for a boy. When a mysterious man called the Stranger shows up in town-all wrapped in black like some kind of holy roller preacher-Hoodoo starts having dreams of a dead man rising from the grave. They use foot-track powder that can go up through your foot to make you sick, a black hen’s egg for getting rid of evil spirits, nutmeg seeds for good luck at gambling and all kinds of other things.īut even though his name is Hoodoo, he can’t seem to cast a simple spell. Synopsis: Set amidst the red soil and sweltering heat of small town Alabama in the 1930s, HOODOO tells the story of twelve-year-old Hoodoo Hatcher, who is born into a family with a rich tradition of practicing folk magic, or Hoodoo, as most people call it.
