I remember the main character was a girl of 15 or 16 maybe, who lived with her mother and little brother!. While they are at the mall a man gives her brother a sticker or tattoo that starts draining his life out of him!. In order to try to stop this man she goes to the house of a boy at her school whose aunts are supposed to be witches and asks them to help her!. They tell her she has to make a journey to become a witch in order to be able to stop the man who is killing her brother!. She agrees to do it because her brother is wasting away in the hospital!. This has been bothering me for a while, it was a pretty good book!. Any help is greatly appreciated!.Www@QuestionHome@Com
