Alice and her friend, Ellery Finch, set out to find her mother and head to where her grandmother lives on an estate. The story really gets going when Alice’s mother is abducted by someone who claims to have come from the supernatural world of her grandmother’s stories. Alice’s grandmother is a famous, reclusive writer, but someone Alice has never met. They move like some people hit coffee shops, often living with acquaintances for short periods of time. Now let’s talk about the story! Alice Proserpine, 17, and her mother are always on the road. From the gold and silver on the black cover to the beautiful end papers to the black and white illustrations at the beginning of each chapter, booklovers will appreciate this book. I’ll admit it-I do judge a book by its cover! (At least, initially.) Physically, The Hazel Wood by Melissa Albert is a definite beauty-contest contestant.
