The Little Woods

Book Description

Publication Date: July 10, 2012

Are the woods behind St. Bede's Academy really haunted, or does bad stuff just happen there? When Calista Wood, a new student, arrives midway through her junior year, St. Bede's feels like a normal school . . . until she discovers that a girl had disappeared a couple of months earlier. Some kids think she ran away, others think she was murdered, but it's only when Cally starts digging around that she finds the startling truth.

Watch as Cally enters a world of privilege, weekend-long parties, high school romances, and . . . well-kept secrets. This page-turner will appeal to teens looking for a fast-paced thriller. Written in a voice at once gripping and crystal clear, debut novelist, McCormick Templeman, will take readers on a twisting and turning journey as only a "new girl" can experience.  

About the Author

McCORMICK TEMPLEMAN is a graduate of Reed College, holds two master's degrees, and is a licensed acupuncturist and herbalist. Ms. Templeman attended a school not unlike St. Bedes as a high schooler.

The only real issue I had with this book was that our main character didn't really know anything about being a teen.  I understand that she lost her father and her sister at a young age. But, still that doesn't mean she should live under a rock.  I know so many people that have no idea about the world around you.  So that kind of ticked me off.

Anyway this book was filled to the brim with twisted mystery and suspense! I thought that it was one person who did it then found out how wrong I was with an end that I didn't see coming!

This is another book with one girl and two guys a romance.  Which I'm kinda of getting tired of.  Why not just leave it with one guy one girl?  Why make it complicated?
