For years, the local Spook has been keeping the County safe from evil. Now his time is coming to an end, but who will take over? Many apprentices have tried - some floundered, some fled, some failed to stay alive. Just one boy is left. He is the last hope. But does he stand a chance against Mother Malkin, the most dangerous witch in the county? This special film tie-in edition contains the first two books in the WARDSTONE CHRONICLES series, and will coincide with the release of the movie starring Jeff Bridges, Julianne Moore and Ben Barnes.
