The Secrets of the Woods: A Magical Suspense Book 1 is written by Sara Beth Harper. When Michael comes upon a severely injured boy in an alley, he promises the boy he will take a peculiar stone to Camelot. Michael and his siblings, Lia, Justin, Zac, and Elijah, begin their long trek to Camelot. The journey isn’t without danger while venturing deep into the unknown woods where wild beasts, wicked goblins, and black-hearted orcs follow them, hoping to steal the stone. The children aren’t aware of how magical it is until they meet a witch named Loretta who tries to protect them. Each sibling’s temperament and bravery is tested as they do their best to defend themselves against the mystical enemies, unaware of their own powerful strengths. Who can they trust? Will they ever survive this nightmarish adventure?
These adorable young orphaned siblings certainly have my sympathy and admiration for the pain and suffering they constantly endure on a very dangerous adventure, just to keep a promise. At least they’re eating better than when they lived on the streets. The oldest kids feel responsible for the younger ones, but they’re minors too and I just wanted to adopt them. The Secrets of the Woods is an exciting, non-stop magical adventure that will absorb all the attention of 4th - 6th graders, who will be turning page after page. Sara Beth Harper writes a captivating and creative story. If you like fantasy with mythical characters, lots of magic, and action, then you will not be disappointed at all.
