Daniel was dissatisfied with the essence of his first person stories. His unconscious, unnoticed, cardboard-like parents were unable to understand the difficult situation (due to his father's unemployment) and took his seven-year-old sister Erica with him . In their retrograde schools, whimsical children are being bullied, Erika's hearing calls her with a creepy voice, paying attention to new dolls, but Daniel keeps witches every 50 years I will gradually learn. The exact reason for this interval is not fully explained - but leaves the house with a little girl and lives in the forest. At first he was skeptical but the evidence began to prove he was wrong. From the witch's perspective, this story is regularly presented and Daniel suspects potential allegations to be completely eliminated. After Erika disappeared in the forest, did not come back, and was replaced by the girl who was taken 50 years ago, Daniel had to face the witch alone to find him I faced an incredible allegation of the parents of his sorrow. At that time, the threat awareness increased. Too happy happy end destroys the possibility that this story plagues the imagination of the reader.

Mary Downing Hahn's "Old Willis Place" is the story of two brothers and sisters living in the distant forest. The two children, Diana and George Eldridge, were excited about the new caregiver in the old Willis area as the mansion was abandoned for many years. They believe that this mansion was hunted by its owner, Lilian Willis. Because I was worried that the ghost of Mrs. Willis would attack them, they did not even dare enter the house. When a new care giver arrived, he had a daughter, Lisa, so they were particularly ecstatic with Diana. In Lisa's eyes, Diana thought she wanted to be friends with her, but warned her older brother was dangerous over time.

Mary Downing Hahn adopted the same strategy in Yaha's novel Daphne's book focused on girls other than the "popular" student group in 1983. Because her self-defense instinct must enthusiastically avoid association with her shy art wanderer Daphne (other children are called "Daffy Duck"), so they are combined with school homework When you are having classes, there are lots of uneasiness. Hearn's book goes one step further than Bloom and explores the family environment that may lead to other students' schools - in the case of Daphne, under the supervision of a mentally disabled grandmother in poverty. From afar, Daphne is still the subject of compassion and contempt, closely touching, she deserves praise and even sympathy. Magically, subtlely, the author strongly urges young readers to ask their impressions of each other based on their superficial relationships at school or in the public.
