The Hazel Wood: Melissa Albert

One of The Observer`s Best Children`s Books of 2018!
Fans of Miss Peregrine`s Home for Peculiar Children and The Children of Blood and Bone have been getting lost in The Hazel Wood...
"The Hazel Wood kept me up all night. I had every light burning and the covers pulled tight around me as I fell completely into the dark and beautiful world within its pages. Terrifying, magical, and surprisingly funny, it`s one of the very best books I`ve read in years". -Jennifer Niven, author of All The Bright Places/
Seventeen-year-old Alice and her mother have spent most of Alice`s life on the road, always a step ahead of the strange bad luck biting at their heels.
But when Alice`s grandmother, the reclusive author of a book of pitch-dark fairy tales, dies alone on her estate - the Hazel Wood - Alice learns how bad her luck can really get.
Her mother is stolen, by a figure who claims to come from the cruel supernatural world from her grandmother`s stories.
Alice`s only lead is the message her mother left behind: STAY AWAY FROM THE HAZEL WOOD.
To retrieve her mother, Alice must venture first to the Hazel Wood, then into the world where her grandmother`s tales began . . .
