Welcome to White Hart

Welcome to White Hart Synopsis

The quiet magic of 'Charlotte's Web' collides with the raw survival of 'Winter's Bone' in this YA novel of magical realism set one December in rural Alabama.

December, Rural Alabama.

Every Christmas Eve, twelve-year-old Mags sneaks into her grandaddy's stable and sleeps among the horses, hoping - just once - to hear them talk. This year, instead, she stumbles onto something far more dangerous: a wounded white stag hidden in the woods.

The forest isn't normal. Animals talk back. Witches lurk under curtains of kudzu. There's a secret cave no one's supposed to find, a single golden bullet that changes everything and an island you can only reach through a portal. Closing in on all of it is a relentless deer hunter: Tasty Murder.

As the days blur toward New Year's, Mags is pulled into a fast, strange and risky chase through the woods, where magic and real danger exist side by side. Led to a midnight showdown on three-wheel ATVs, her survival depends on quick thinking, nerve and knowing who - or what - to trust.
