Hazel and Jack are best friends and live just down the street from one another. Until recently, they didn't go to the same school, but after Hazel's dad moved away, she had to change schools and now she's in the classroom across the hall from Jack. Hazel doesn't really fit in at school. None of the ...
Jack and Hazel are best friends, even though Hazel’s loser status at school suggests that Jack doesn’t stand up for her very often. Hazel’s loyalty to him runs deep; when Jack mysteriously disappears, she runs off into a mythical realm to save him. Hazel is very likeable as a hero, and her isol...
This had been on my wishlist for a long while, so when I saw that the publisher was giving away free copies, I jumped right on the chance to get one. I’m so, so glad I read it. Hazel, while a deeply flawed character, was still likeable and one you could root for. Her friendship with Jack was sweet,...
I judge books by their covers and I’m not ashamed of it. That doesn’t mean that I read a book just because it has a pretty cover. Far from it.I judge covers according to their relevancy to the content inside the book. I think that covers should represent the books story in the best way possible. Cov...

A surprisingly adorable tale, grounded in reality but mixed with magic throughout. Hazel is a relatable characater and I found it refreshing that she knows all the fairy tale tropes and behaves like a smart girl when stumbling around the magic forest. Personally, I liked the first half better - wher...

Hazel's best friend Jack has been taken by the Winter Witch to a place far deep in the woods. He has gi...
I only picked this up because I have a daughter named Hazel and live in Minneapolis, but I'm glad I did. It's an excellent book that I would have loved at the right age.
