A dark, forbidden forest. Vicious beasts. Deadly plants. An evil spellbook. Secrets. Mysteries. Witches, both good and bad . . . Welcome to the world of the Thickety. Full of action, set in an intriguing and dangerous world, and illustrated with gorgeous and haunting line art, The Thickety: A Path Begins is a truly stunning book. A Path Begins is the thrilling start of a new middle-grade fantasy series about a girl, a mysterious forest, and a book of untold magical powers. Kara and her brother, Taff, are shunned by their village because their mother was a witch. The villagers believe nothing is more evil than magic, except for what lurks in the nearby Thickety. But when Kara enters the forbidden forest, she discovers a strange book, a grimoire that might have belonged to her mother. The events she then sets in motion are both awe-inspiring and terrifying. . . .

One of the best ways to tell if you really enjoyed a book (or are eagerly awaiting the sequel at least) is if you start getting anxious towards the end of the book because things aren't wrapping up and there are only a few pages left and with the last page you yell "GODDAMNIT" and start kicking thin...
My thoughts on this book are all over the place. I thought it had an interesting premise and at the beginning was very intriqued by the idea of the Thickety itself.

There was also an echo of The Crucible and another famous short story I won't mention by name (it could create a spoiler). Nods to some of the great witch and small t...
