(6 reviews)

The Hazel Wood series by Melissa Albert is a captivating blend of dark fantasy and contemporary fiction, perfect for readers aged 12 and up. The series follows Alice Proserpine, a seventeen-year-old girl whose life takes a mysterious turn after her reclusive grandmother, the author of a book of sinister fairy tales, passes away. When Alice's mother is abducted by a figure from the cruel supernatural world where her grandmother's stories are set, Alice must venture into the Hazel Wood and beyond to rescue her.

The series is known for its atmospheric writing, intricate plot twists, and exploration of themes such as fate, identity, and the blurred lines between reality and fiction. It's a compelling choice for young adult readers who enjoy stories that delve into the darker aspects of fantasy.
