This is a story about witchcraft. In 1926, a six-year-old boy named Juan Aguilar goes on a camping trip with his family to Questa, New Mexico. He runs into a cursed house, and he is mysteriously transported back in time to 1826. He is taken in by a local family, and he slowly starts to discover why this house was cursed, that many other children have suffered the same fate, and ten years later finds his way back to his family in Albuquerque. When he returns home, no one believes his strange story of Bella the witch and the notorious witch hunter, Luciano del Valle. Years later, as an adult, he writes his story of witchcraft in rural New Mexico.

“Well written fantasy with strong character emphasis and empathy” from the author of the sci-fi classic Escape to Witch Mountain (Kirkus Reviews). At night, Little Jon’s people go out to watch the stars. Mesmerized by a meteor shower, he forgets to watch his step and falls through a moss-covered door to another land: America. He awakes hurt, his memory gone, sure only that he does not belong here. Captured by a hunter, Jon escapes by leaping six feet over a barbed-wire fence. Hungry and alone, he staggers through the darkness and is about to be caught when he is rescued by a kind family known as the Beans. They shelter him, feed him, and teach him about his new home. In return, he will change their lives forever. Although the Beans are kind to Little Jon, the townspeople mistrust the mysterious visitor. But Jon has untold powers, and as he learns to harness them, he will show his newfound friends that they have no reason to be afraid.
