When a stranger knocks on his door and promises to lead him
to hidden treasure, twelve-year-old Rudi is skeptical. And
he's even more suspicious when the stranger proclaims that
the jewels belonged to the legendary Hansel. Sure, Rudi's
heard stories: the witch, the oven, the sister named Gretel.
But he never fully believed they were real. Until now... Life has been unkind to Rudi -- and to Lucie and Elsebeth,
the two little girls he looks after. So when this stranger
announces he needs Rudi's help to uncover Hansel's treasure,
Rudi sees a way out. And so an incredible journey -- one
filled with mist-covered castles, a treehouse-dwelling
outsider, and creatures called murglins -- begins. But as
Rudi, the girls, and the stranger weave their way through
the rambling woods, Rudi notices the clouds blackening and a
thick fog descending. He wonders, Has the forest always been
this...creepy? And those shadows between the trees -- is
their tiny group being followed? Then the unthinkable
happens: Lucie and Elsebeth are stolen! Who would take them? Rudi gets his answer in the shape of a warlock. And his
ransom price is steep: Bring me Hansel and the children will
be returned. Is a simple woodcutter like Rudi any match for
a thousand-year-old villain?
