The Little Woods


   Calista Wood transfers mid-year to a boarding school called St. Bede's. While most people go there so they'll have a better chance at getting in to a good college, Cally is there for another reason.
   Although it has been ten years, Cally has held on to the hope that she can solve the mystery behind her sister's disappearance. Clare had gone missing from St. Bede's, and rumor has it she was murdered. But was she really? Or is she still alive, living  in the little woods? 

   I have read some mixed reviews about this book. Many complain that the author used too many big words, that the mystery was easy to solve, and that the characters were flawed. I, however, really enjoyed it. I though the author's descriptions of people were awesome. I liked how she described them just as Cally saw them, which mad it easier to relate to her. The mystery was pretty easy to solve, but it was still enjoyable. My only complaint would be that sometimes the characters were unrealistic, and their reasoning didn't actually make sense. Otherwise, it was a good book.
