Lord of the Mill

A strange man clanks and clatters in the alleyways at 4am picking up the relics and trash from the town of Potter's Mill. Among the children it's said that he's the Lord of the Mill Potter's Mill which is an abandoned ruin that squats in the O'Hanley River. He talks to the fireflies and has a snapping turtle for his watchdog. But his kingdom is troubled. A woman perhaps a witch is intruding into his domain. The sign on her Model A truck says: The Cake Lady and she delivers her cakes door-to-door... But the children know that her pastries change people...forever. So far she's changed half the lawyers in Potter's Mill into snapping turtles. Two boys Charlie and Bobby must weigh the danger between confiding in the Lord of the Mill and being turned into turtles by the witch. Harvey spins a modern day classic. Magic is magic whether in the minds of children or grownups. This is a scary funny charming book for kids from five to ninety-five. Beautifully illustrated.
