The Whispering Trees
The second book
in J. A. White’s critically acclaimed middle grade fantasy series
continues the fantastical story of Kara and her journey into the
Thickety.
After Kara Westfall’s village turns on her for practicing witchcraft, she and her brother, Taff, flee to the one place they know they won’t be followed: the Thickety. Only this time the
Forest Demon, Sordyr, is intent on keeping them there. Sordyr is not the Thickety’s only danger: unknown magic lurks behind every twist and
shadow of the path. And then Kara and Taff discover Mary Kettle, an
infamous witch with an unspeakable past — she is everything their village
fears about magic.
When Mary shows them the path leading out of
the Thickety guarded by Imogen, a creature more monster than human, Kara is hesitant to trust her. But then she offers to help Kara learn to
cast magic without a grimoire... and this could be Kara and Taff's only
chance to escape.
Or the first step down a dark and wicked path.
