Out of the Woods
Book 2What's the Story?
The fun fair is in town! With its clouds of pink candy floss and whirling big wheel, what child could resist such temptation? Little do the Eden sisters know that they are being lured into a wicked witch’s lair. . . . Belladonna wants
Aurora’s heart and Storm’s all-powerful musical pipe, and she will stop at nothing to get them. Driven by vanity and greed, she makes a truly formidable adversary.
After escaping from a deadly game of hide-and-seek in the enchanted fair, our three heroines flee through the woods, with several ravenous wolves and a sweet-toothed lion hot on their heels. Now they face their biggest challenge yet: a treacherous journey into the Underworld. For only when the pipe has been safely returned to the land of the dead will the Eden sisters truly be out of the woods. . . .
What's the Buzz?
"...read the first book before you read this one. It helps, because the girls keep referring to things from the other book. It isn’t hard to understand, but it would definitely help." - Book Trends
"The myth and fairy tale allusions and references (Snow White, Little Red Riding Hood, among many others) should entrance younger readers, while a story line mixing action with tragedy, familial love with jealousy and sibling rivalry, and a fear of change with hope, will appeal to a broad audience." - Publisher's Weekly
"Although the main story is original, the Author has cleverly referred, tied in and used many other fairy tales, stories and myths from around the world such as Pandora's box, Snow White, and Little Red Riding Hood. With an interesting twist on all these fairy tales this book will certainly enchant children." - The School Run
"I thoroughly enjoyed this story. The characters were very relatable and the imagery was wonderful. At many times I felt like I was in the book with them. The book can make you laugh or cry. It was fun finding all of the connections and predicting what would happen next." - Flamingnet
"The exciting settings are delightfully illustrated by Mini Grey, sparking the imagination and adding to the fast-paced nature of the story." - Curled Up Kids
