Three children enjoy a carefree summer holiday swimming and riding horses in the stunning Drakensberg mountains of South Africa, but when they encounter teenage bullies, poachers threatening a wildlife reserve, and a secret government project that seems to involve a witch, they get drawn into an adventure that gets more and more scary.

"The Enchanted Grove" by Stephen Hayes, an adventure story for kids aged 9-99.

Quotes that show #kidlit is not just for children:

“It was morning. Some of the sky was yellow, some the softest blue. One small cloud scuttled along. Strange how everything below can be such death and chaos and pain while above the sky is peace, sweet blue gentleness. I heard a shaman say once, the Ancestors want our souls to be like the blue sky.”
―Shannon Hale, Book of a Thousand Days.
