Sophia Wright is an ethereal mystery, with the face of an angel she has a heart made of spindly cold bark, her survival is intertwined in the very branches of the crooked tree. Why was she in Freddie's deserted house, what was her connection to his missing sister and Freddie's family. Bobby was unsure why he was so fascinated by her, what had led him to be so intrigued. His sister Jodie had really scared him with her tales before, many times but this was different. This haunted Bobby in the dark and had him twitchy and nervous in the light. Deeply regretting telling his gang that night at the creepy house, the memories will be etched in his mind forever, flash backs of Freddie's face, the feeling of something not of this world dancing around them. If he hadn't have told them things would be so different. What Bobby didn't realise that at the age of Ten he was choosing a path that would inevitably cause him many years of guilt, guilt that would guide him to suffer the ultimate loss. Bobby's relentless search for the crooked tree takes him to many dark corners but none will be darker then the truth.
