All you need to know about Nightbooks
A deadly witch, Natacha, captures a young boy, Alex, in a magical apartment. Alex is a bright boy with a passion for writing scary stories. The magical apartment tempts Alex, and he falls for the trap by Natacha. She threatens to kill him unless he read her a scary story every day. Natacha asked, “Is there any reason I should let you live?” “I write scary stories,” says Alex. Hence, his passion becomes his only way for survival.
Natacha’s apartment is a Victorian wonderland with a massive library and a magic garden. In there, Alex finds another of the witch’s prisoners-a girl named Yazmin. She has lost all hope of escape. Yazmin advises Alex, “Forget your family, focus being useful to the witch.”
Alex and Yazmin make an impressive pair together. Akin to Hansel and Gretel, they plot their escape. Let’s see if our new Hansel and Gretel can escape the deadly witch, or not. Also, find out what happens to the witch.
