Darkwood Tour

So I'm sitting in the corner of my room, cozy and warm wrapped up in my blanket reading the book Darkwood, and suddenly the book comes to life! Creatures are lurking all around me, Chopper's at my doorstep, and Uncle Jock is sleeping in the room next to me.


The book Darkwood is about a girl named Annie who is forced to escape her home and wander into a world of misery and surprises every which way, with nothing but her two cats-Prudence and Izzy. Along the way, she gets sent to the Drop, a cliff where children are forced to mine for ringstone. Annie finds her long-lost friend, Gregor, who she was told was eaten by Kinderstalk. She meets some unexpected companions and tries to earn her way to meet the King to tell him about what is going on at the Drop. Will she make it? She figures out something that will change her whole perspective for the rest of her life.


M.E. Breen is the author of the book. She's grown up with animals her whole life and knows what it's like to have strong connections with them. On her website, she has a bio, reviews, contact information, and much more! Check out the site by clicking on her name.

so if all the creatures in the book came alive, does that mean you were scared?

Would you recommend this book to other fantasy lovers? How about to kids to have nightmares? Was it very scary?

Thanks, Christy, for the review. I know you are on a mission trip this week. I'm glad you found the time to post on this book.

Oh I would definitely be afraid if they came alive. And I would recommend it because the pages seemed almost as if they did come alive to me already!

And you should, it was amazing!
