This book is about a group of kids who go to a guava orchard to pick some fruit. The orchard is owned by a old woman named Mrs. Gudiya. The kids are excited to go, but they quickly find out that there is something wrong with the orchard. The trees are full of bugs, the fruit is rotten, and the old woman is mean. The kids eventually figure out that Mrs. Gudiya is a witch and they have to get her out of the orchard before she curses them all. They do this by playing a game of chicken with the old woman. When she gets scared, they chase her out of the orchard and she never comes back.; 8vo; Signed by Author.
