(Ages 13 and up) Join other teens to discuss The Hazel Wood by Melissa Albert. Snacks served. Registration required.
The Hazel Wood by Melissa Albert is a strange but attractive hybrid of Alice in Wonderland and Black Mirror with a touch of horror. Albert does a wonderful job with not only her prose but her characters and the vibrantly creepy world of the Hinterland. Seventeen-year-old Alice and her mother have spent most of Alice’s life on the road, always a step ahead of the uncanny bad luck biting at their heels. But when Alice’s grandmother, the reclusive author of a cult-classic book of pitch-dark fairy tales, dies alone on her estate, the Hazel Wood, Alice learns how bad her luck can really get.
