Welcome to Melissa Albert's The Hazel Wood—the fiercely stunning New York Times bestseller everyone is raving about!
Seventeen-year-old Alice and her mother have spent most of Alice’s life on the road, always a step ahead of the uncanny bad luck biting at their heels. But when Alice’s grandmother, the reclusive author of a cult-classic book of pitch-dark fairy tales, dies alone on her estate, the Hazel Wood, Alice learns how bad her luck can really get: Her mother is stolen away—by a figure who claims to come from the Hinterland, the cruel supernatural world where her grandmother's stories are set. Alice's only lead is the message her mother left behind: “Stay away from the Hazel Wood.”
Alice has long steered clear of her grandmother’s cultish fans. But now she has no choice but to ally with classmate Ellery Finch, a Hinterland superfan who may have his own reasons for wanting to help her. To retrieve her mother, Alice must venture first to the Hazel Wood, then into the world where her grandmother's tales began—and where she might find out how her own story went so wrong.
The paperback edition of The Hazel Wood includes two never-before-seen stories from Tales from the Hinterland, an interview with Melissa, and a discussion guide.

Its a captivating debut. -The New York Times Book Review (Notable Childrens Book)An original and imaginative fairy tale: thrilling, fascinating, and poignant in equal measure. -Entertainment Weekly (Best YA Book of the Year)Insidiously beautiful, this is the opposite of escapist fantasy; it is a story about the imaginations power to loose atrocity into the (mostly) law-abiding confines of the real. -The Guardian (Best Childrens Book of the Year)A darkly brilliant story of literary obsession, fairy-tale malignancy, and the measures a mother will take to spare her child. -The Wall Street Journal (Best Childrens Book of the Year)A contemporary fantasy that dwells in an atmospheric, intertwining world of terrifying circumstances; a breathtaking dive into the magic and importance of story in ones identity. Story is the fabric of the Hinterland, one of the residents tells Alice. Another says, stories create the energy that makes this world go. They keep our stars in place. If this is so, Alberts exquisite wordsmithing and story weaving have kept the stars aloft for a new generation of readers. -Shelf Awareness, starred reviewAlices sharp-edged narration and Altheas terrifying fairy tales, interspersed throughout, build a tantalizing tale of secret histories and magic that carries costs and consequences. There is no happily-ever-after resolution except this: Alices hard-won right to be in charge of her own story. -Publishers Weekly, starred reviewHighly literary, occasionally surreal, and grounded by Alices clipped, matter-of-fact voice, The Hazel Wood is a dark story that readers will have trouble leaving behind. -Booklist, starred reviewSimultaneously wondrous and horrific, dreamlike and bloody, lyrical and creepy, exquisitely haunting and casually, brutal.
