THE ITCHYGOONEY WITCH

Book 1 of The Itchygooney Mysteries

A Halloween mystery.
A creepy legend.
Two boys who definitely should’ve stayed home.

Halloween Comes Early This Year!

July 1st

William and Thomas were just looking for Halloween candy.
Instead, they found a strange symbol etched on a tree, a creepy shadow in the dark, and a revenge-seeking witch who may—or may not—be real.

There’s something strange going on at Mrs. Bumble’s house. She left town… but the lights keep flickering. Shadows keep moving. And worst of all, someone or something calls their names from the backyard.

The boys decide to investigate—armed with flashlights, terrible ideas, and their legendary overconfidence. What they uncover is a spooky, laugh-out-loud mystery full of twists, tricks, and one very itchy legacy.

Can William and Thomas crack the case before the witch gets them first?

Perfect for ages 8–12 who like their mysteries with laughs, scares, and one unforgettable ending.
