The Hazel Wood by Melissa Albert


This book is so good. Dark and disturbing fairy tales abound in this story of a girl and her mother, constantly on the run from bad luck that follows them. When strange things start to happen, and seem to be tied to an impossible-to-find book of fairy tales written by her grandmother, Alice is set on an adventure to find her mother and discover her true history. I never knew what was coming next. Though it has hints of familiarity, The Hazel Wood is a unique fairy tale.
