The Chain of Time | A Missing Girl and a Witch’s Cottage in the Woods

A missing classmate draws Andrew into the woods in Killian Crane’s “The Chain of Time.” Five weeks after Claire Ellis vanished, the twelve-year-old sees her among the trees and follows, hoping to make up for an old failure of courage. A beautiful stranger offers shelter, French toast and chocolate milk, but the warmth of her cottage conceals a terrible appetite. This dark fairy tale pairs a child-eating witch with a brass pocket watch whose history Andrew does not understand. Finding Claire brought him here. Getting home may require more than finding the path.
