The way he smiled unsettled me, and I was starting to regret ever opening the window. "Um, I don"t think I see anything here." I frowned. "Are you ready?" "Ready for what? What"s going on, Rory?" I asked, scared of what was going to happen next. I looked at what he was pointing at. "For this..." Would you risk everything to save a world you don"t belong to? What if you could be a hero, fighting goblins to the death? Could you do it? These questions are the furthest thing from the mind of April Listing, a typical teenage girl who is more likely to battle with her siblings than with otherworldly creatures. Her entire world is turned upside down, however, when she meets Rory, a mysterious stranger who enlists April"s help in saving his home-a beautiful, fantasy-filled forest. After struggling to determine whether any of this is real, she decides to enter the fray in an attempt to bring down the goblins that are sucking the joy and color out of this fantastical realm. If she makes it out alive, she wonders how she"ll ever return to the "real" world. A story of striking originality, The Boy in the Forest allows readers to embark from the real world along with April and to share in her dynamic and thrilling adventure.
