Amazon.com description: Product Description:
The jumbies are coming!
Corinne La Mer isnât afraid of anything. Not scorpions, not the boys who tease her, and certainly not jumbies. She knows that jumbies arenât real; theyâre just creatures parents make up to frighten their children. But on All Hallowsâ Eve, Corinne chases an agouti all the way into the forbidden woods. Those shining yellow eyes that follow her to the edge of the trees, they couldnât belong to a jumbie. Or could they?
Corinne begins to notice odd occurrences after that night. First she spots a beautiful stranger speaking to the town witch at the market. Then this same beauty, called Severine, turns up at Corinneâs house, cooking dinner for her father. Danger is in the air. Sure enough, bewitching Corinneâs father is the first step in Severineâs plan to claim the entire island for the jumbies. Corinne must call on her courage and her friends and ancient magic to stop Severine and to save her island home.
