3 TO THE TEACHER L IST OF MAIN CHARACTERS Ben Jackson: a 13-year-old boy. Mr and Mrs Jackson: Ben s parents. James Kingsley: a mechanic. Felicia: the maid at a small inn. June: a teenage girl. She works in the village shop. She s James Kingsley s niece. P LOT SUMMARY It s before Halloween and the Jacksons are driving on an isolated road. A cat runs in front of the car and causes an accident. The family looks for a garage to repair their car. They find one in a small village called Bayley. James Kingsley, the mechanic, is strange. He s got very white skin and won t come out into the daylight. Mr Jackson drives the car inside the building, but Kingsley can t repair it that day because he s closing the garage early for Halloween. The family has to spend the night in Bayley. The Jacksons find a small inn. The man at the reception desk looks nervous and warns them to leave the village before Halloween starts. Although the inn is empty, he doesn t want to give them rooms. But he finally agrees. Felicia takes the family to their rooms and they notice that, like Kingsley, her skin is also very white. Mr and Mrs Jackson s room has got a fireplace and the curtains are closed. Felicia lights a fire and then shows Ben to his room. The curtains are open and she runs to close them. She explains she s got a fear of the sun because of a witch s curse. Ben is curious to know more, but Felicia won t talk about it. Ben explores an ancient fortress on a hill, and finds stairs leading to a mysterious room. But there s no time to go inside, as he must go to the village shop to buy food before it closes. At the shop, he meets June. She s also got very white skin. June explains why people close their businesses early before Halloween. Three hundred years ago, a witch called Martha lived in the village. One day, the sheriff at that time, also called James Kingsley, discovered she was a witch. He tried to take away her broom, the source of all her magic powers. The witch put a curse on him and all his descendants and now they are born with a fear of the sun. In the end, soldiers took the witch s broom and locked the witch in a room in the fortress on the hill. June tells Ben some of Kingsley s descendants still live in Bayley, including herself, her uncle and Felicia. Ben learns that all James Kingsley s descendants are witches and warlocks, and that Felicia has got Martha s magic broom. He decides to help June end the witch s curse and secretly goes to Felicia s room to look for the broom. There, he finds some black robes in the cupboard, but no broom. Before dark, Ben sees Felicia leaving the inn in a black robe. He takes one of the robes from her room and puts it on. Then, he follows Felicia to the mysterious room in the fortress and hides in a corner. He sees her move a stone in the wall to reveal the magic broom. Soon, June, her uncle and the other descendants of James Kingsley arrive to begin their Halloween celebration. Ben follows them to the village. On the way, they use their magic powers to cause chaos and destroy things. Then, Felicia runs towards the inn. She wants to use a spell on Ben. He immediately covers his face with the robe and in his warlock s disguise, he offers to do it for her. Felicia gives Ben a bottle of yellow liquid and the broom. He runs upstairs to his parents room, breaks the broom into pieces and throws it into the fire. When the witches arrive, they can t save the broom from the fire. Their magic powers disappear and Martha s curse ends forever. Kingsley s descendants can now go outside and enjoy the sun. Ben promises to return to Bayley next Halloween. B ACKGROUND Halloween: The first people to celebrate Halloween were the Celts. Today, people from many countries celebrate this holiday and it s especially popular in the USA. Halloween is celebrated on the night of 31st October. People make lanterns and have parties. They also wear scary costumes and masks, tell ghost stories and play games. Children in costumes go from house to house and call out Trick or treat?. If the people in the houses don t give them sweets, the children play tricks on them. Witches: In the Middle Ages, people using bad spells were called witches and warlocks. They went to prison and were burnt to death. The Inquisition started in Europe in People hunted witches and put them on trial. Until the 18th century, many were tortured, put in prison or executed. 3
