The adventures in the Hinterland and the Hazel Wood thus ensue. Alice’s only thought is, of course, to save her mother and to do so, she enlists the help of a rich friend (guy–duh) from school, named Ellory Finch. One day their lives are turned upside-down again when Ella is kidnapped by two people claiming to be from the Hinterland. Ella marries a rich New Yorker and Alice settles into school. When Alice and her mother receive word that Althea has died, they believe they can stop running from life. Alice’s grandmother, Althea, is a famous author who wrote a collection of dark fairy tales called Tales from the Hinterland. In The Hazel Wood, we read about seventeen year-old Alice and her mother Ella, who have lived their lives on the run trying to escape the bad luck that seems to follow them. AHH!! Once I did read it though….well….its one crazy ride, let me say that! This book just screamed my name with all of those little cover details in silver and gold and its promise of dark fairy tales and mystery! I never got my ARC and I had to wait all the way until release day to read it. I remember seeing it plastered everywhere at ALA in Chicago last summer and I was SO bummed that I wasn’t able to get an ARC. From the first time I saw the cover for The Hazel Wood, I was desperate to read it.
