The Errand (The Errand Series)

Do you dare to enter the magical mansion of the Warlock on the Hill? Through the darkness appears a mansion shrouded in magic and mystery. All of your instincts tell you to run, but you know you must enter and fulfill your duty... Praise for The Errand: "Groundbreaking, spellbinding, this book is a winning collaboration between writer and artist. In these days where faster is better and shorter trumps longer, two gifted artists have decided to take us on a journey through a mythological forest. This haunting archetypal tale -- where the forces of good and evil swirl around the heroic journey of a young boy -- harks back to the best of The Brothers Grimm. LaFleur's text is exquisite word music, leaving space for Oehler's art. Such ART! Images so rich in detail readers will tumble off chairs into the page: gripped, scared, hopeful, but never to be let go. Not even after the book is closed. These two have created a world we will revisit, and a boy whose journey we will want more of-- not just one magnificent book. I'm enchanted, gobsmacked, thrilled for readers of all ages and inspired by the accomplishment of these creators." -- Sheree Fitch, Award Winning Author of The Gravesavers Leo La Fleur writes short stories, poems, novels, and songs.

You can only remember being desperate... Run swiftly as fast as you can. There are other dangers here. You know this. To reach the witch's hut one must beware of all those creatures of the Whispering Woods. The day is breaking. The rain is shaking the leaves on the trees. A drop here, a drop there, move faster, pick up speed."
