The Spooks Battle (called Attack of the Fiend in the USA) is the fourth novel in the Wardstone Chronicles, written by young adult fantasy writer Joseph Delaney.
Mam has returned to her homeland of Greece to fight the rising dark in the land. Back at the family farmhouse she has left boxes and trunks to be opened only by her son Tom Ward.
In Pendle the covens are rising with the 3 most powerful clans uniting in order to conjure the Devil himself.
Tom and his master must race to Pendle to confront the Witches however first he must see just what his mam has left him at the farmhouse. Could it be that the boxes will reveal more about his mother's past? And will these powerful secrets place Tom's family in ever greater danger?
The Spooks Battle brings the terrifying Pendle Witches into focus, with the unthinkably evil plot. The novels in the Wardstone Chronicles get better and better, this has to be my favorite yet.
