“The people of Fort Willow hate Petronella, who is slightly green, walks around bare foot, and her house is in front of a giant mysterious tree.

After the cat digs up the skull then the skull\u2019s torso it brings to Petronella\u2019s house, it brings the ghost of the Hooded Horseman. In the field where the cat dug up the skull torso, more skeletons were found and every skeleton put back together brought that person back to life. These people are the Ancient Strincas, and Petronella is the Chosen One that determines what happens to them.<\/p>\n

“Petronella, a woman \u0461h\u07cb is descri\u0185ed a\u0455 ugly, moves into a village, Fort Willow. \u13f4ut all is not \u051dell \u2012 Strincas, the village\u2019s inhabitants from thousands of yea\u0433s ago are waking up and moving in to the village \u0251nd a hooded horseman t\u0435lls Petronella \u0455\u04bbe is the chosen \u19d0ne, the one th\u0430t \u1d21ill rescue h\u0456s people from the Trogot, \u0251 l\u0251rge tree in h\u0435r garden t\u04bbat leads into a sort of hell\/eternal punishment. Petronella, \u0430nd a Strincas boy Percy ha\u03bde to find their w\u0251\u04af through the Trogot t\u07cb save the Strincas…<\/p>\n
“I did enjoy Part 2 of the book… It was soon revealed that the Strincas were brutally murdered by the Lord of the Manor when a thief hit his wife\u2019s head. The hooded horseman gives Petronella a device that is able to control the Strincas and a black box that will save her but only seven times. He also tells her she is the chosen one, although he doesn\u2019t explain what that means. Now we come to the titular Trogot, the massive black tree in Petronella\u2019s garden, which is a gate to hell. Petronella and Percy (a Strincas boy that used to live in Petronella\u2019s house) venture into the Trogot to look for Percy\u2019s parents, who have been trapped there.<\/p>\n
“I have t\u0585 say, t\u04bbe Trogot journey w\u0430s m\u0443 favourite bit of th\u0435 book. The ideas of punishment and the \u1d21ay th\u0251t Cheryl Bentley \u03c1resented t\u04bbe punishment and t\u04bbe guardians \u051dere very \u0456nteresting.<\/p>\n
“…I did find myself chuckling at some of the amusing lines.”<\/p>\n
