When her parents move
from London to a country town on the edge of a massive wood, Charlotte
is sad to be leaving her city friends behind. Yet she's entranced by the
spectral image of a green man who seems to metamorphose before her very
eyes... Slowly but surely, Charlotte finds herself being inexorably
drawn into a magical world of dark and light, good and evil; a world
where something mysterious, something wonderful and something terrible
is happening in the woods. Together with her shadowy neighbour - a boy
who has spent his life exploring the woods - and another who was
inexplicably lost there as a child for a week, the three unearth a
terrible secret that threatens to destroy not only the woods but also
potentially our whole world; and in exposing the mystery they discover
their destinies. From Goodreads.
It is basically about good versus evil but done in a very interesting way. It was a quite fast paced book and I enjoyed it very much. A cosy easy read as it should be when it is supposed to be for children 8+ but I found it very good too.
