Strange things begin happening at Elijah's New England home just before his twelfth birthday in 1927, especially after two aunts he had never met whisk him away to Moaning Marsh, where he realizes that they are witches who need something from him in order to remove a curse.

I would say that the most creative parts of the books are also hard to understand and confusing. They get lost in the frenzy of the action. I don't have a clear image of what just happened.

 I can see it made into a Tim Burton/ Coraline/Boxtrolls movie.

 The boy ends up with his aunts in dreadful place being the core of their plans. He tries to escape several times. This slows down the book a bit, but then the addition of other characters makes it better, such as Dez. Again there are parts and chapters that flow very well, but others that I would like to visualize better, such as the maids attacks.
