One of the signal advantages of 21-year-old readers is that their tastes straddle both teen and adult literature. In the Hoare house, however, our daughter goes one further, serving as family "finder" of books for the young that might otherwise slip through the cracks.
A prime example, in which a title ostensibly for teens has been read by all three members of the family, is this remarkable book. The Hazel Wood concerns Alice, a 17-year-old girl, and an eerily attractive boy named Finch, who slowly sucks her into the vortex of her own past, bringing to life a book of very dark fairy tales written by her reclusive grandmother, who lives and dies in the deadly Hazel Wood.
Set alternately in New York City and the wilds, this felicitous mixture of fantasy and fiction - part Grimm, part C.S.Lewis - is one of the most riveting teen/adult cross-pollinations to have been published in quite some time.
J.K. Rowling, where art thou?
