OLDER FICTION
Albert, Melissa

The Hazel Wood

(2) YA After seventeen-year-old Alice's mother is abducted, she realizes their perpetual bad luck comes from the nasty fairy-tale world of her grandmother's cult-classic collection, Tales from the Hinterland. With help from classmate Ellery, Alice travels to creepy Hazel Wood, her grandmother's remote estate. Shifting from urbane realism to a kaleidescopic, metafictional dream world of fairy-tale tropes and nightmare, the narrative always displays a distinctive voice and ebullient love of language.
