The Woods

At the beginning of the 20th Century Izzy Mitchell and her family leave the city for her father's new job in the out in the country. They arrive in Benson to find a dying town clinging to ghost stories about the nearby forest. It was those woods that Izzy's father was sent to cut down for the Greenway Company. It was not long after arriving in Benson that Izzy finds out that the woods are filled with spirits. These were the spirits of departed Native American souls who appear as animals during the day, then wandering ghosts at night. If the Greenway Company has their way those woods will be destroyed and all the spirits inside would be lost forever. Only Izzy can save them by finding the lost waterfall and path to the other side. The Woods is a fantasy story written the same vein as "Spirited Away" or "The Wizard of Oz." A strong young female heroine must do everything she can to save those spirits and herself. This story was written with readers of all ages in mind.
