New to the Neighborhood

Theo Warren needed a fresh start. What he got was a whole new set of problems.

When Theo decided that he couldn''t live in the same state as his ex anymore, he moves over a thousand miles to claim the house left to him by his weird great-uncle. Much to the dismay of his scientific mother, he settles happily enough into the old house filled with the odds and ends collected by an eccentric old man. All Theo wants is to be left in peace, with no histrionic claims to distract him from his writing.

Life in the Greenwoods neighborhood is wonderfully quiet and drama-free. Until that is, the president of the HOA comes to pay a courtesy visit. This seems to be the signal for Theo to meet half a dozen neighbors ranging from a nagging harridan to an awkward young man to a pair of kids who hang out with a... that has to be a dog, right?

When the vandalism plaguing the area takes a turn for the dangerous, and one of Theo''s new friends insists that magic is not only real, but all around him, Theo finds himself seeking peace in the forest.

Didn''t anybody warn him about what happens to people who wander in the woods?
