Summary

"In West Africa, the Iroko tree is known for its strong wood. But cutting it down may not be a good idea. The Yoruba people believe this could bring a curse! In this title for reluctant readers, engaging text and creepy images combine to tell three ghostly stories from the African continent. Maps highlight the origins of each story, while other features offer possible explanations and introduce a related story."--
