The book I cannot recall is a chapter book that my 4th grade teacher read with our class.<\/p>\n
The story begins with a small family in a cabin in the woods. \u00a0Each night, they hear a knock at the door, and whoever answers the door disappears.\u00a0 The reader soon discovers that the a pair of magic boots have been walking themselves up to the door, forcing themselves onto the feet of who answers, and walking them off into the forest.\u00a0 Each family member disappears until only 1 boy, the protagonist, is left.\u00a0 He manages to trap the boots in a pot, pours (honey or molasses?) onto the boots, and puts 2 rats into the enclosure with the boots.\u00a0 The rats eat the boots and become \"bewitched,\" and the boy stands on the rats and rides them into the forest to find his family.\u00a0 He is led to a troll or giant, but I cannot remember how the story concludes.<\/p>\n
Please help!
