4-6Spindlewood Tales series.
In this second book, Pip, Toad, and Frankie struggle to remain hidden from the forests' evil creatures while avoiding sinister child-snatcher Jarvis. Scuttling from one perilous hideaway to another, the friends succeed in rescuing a carriage load of children but not in solving all the problems besetting beleaguered Hangman's Hollow. Mould's spindly drawings add atmosphere to the enchantingly eerie tale.
