Thickety: A Path Begins | J A White
11 posts | 20 read | 19 to read
The Thickety: A Path Begins is a spellbinding tale about a girl, the Thickety, and the power of magic. Fans of Neil Gaiman will love this thrilling new world.When Kara Westfall was five years old, her mother was convicted of the worst of all crimes: witchcraft. Years later, Kara and her little brother, Taff, are still shunned by the people of their village, who believe that nothing is more evil than magic except, perhaps, the mysterious forest that covers nearly the entire island. It has many names, this place. Sometimes it is called the Dark Wood, or Sordyr's Realm. But mostly it's called the Thickety.The villagers live in fear of the Thickety and the terrible creatures that live there. But when an unusual bird lures Kara into the forbidden forest, she discovers a strange book with unspeakable powers. A book that might have belonged to her mother.And that is just the beginning of the story.Supports the Common Core State StandardsPublishers Weekly Best BookIndieBound Indie Next ListPublishers Weekly Flying StartAmazon's Big Spring BooksWashington Post Summer Book Club"

AmandaBlaze Thursday Next by Jasper Fforde. She investigates crimes inside of books, so her letters would be awesome. 13mo
dabbe I would John (Dr.) Watson. He's an excellent chronicler of Mr. Holmes, so I think he'd make an excellent penpal. Plus, he could keep me up to date on all of Sherlock's shenanigans. 🤩 And thanks, @GondorGirl, for the lovely donations! 🧡🖤🧡 13mo
Read4life Sherlock Holmes. His mind is a fascinating place 😆 I think his letters would be challenging and extremely interesting. 13mo

Kara Westfall lives in a puritanical village on an island that thinks nothing is worse than magic. Her mother was convicted as a witch when she was five and she was left to care for her baby brother and broken father while the village shunned them. This book is pretty dark to be labeled middle grade with some pretty disturbing and dark magic. It reminded me of the movie The Village in some ways, but a lot scarier including bodily control and death

This book is really one of my favorites because it really takes you in through an imaginative fictional story that travels and has many duals with magic and good vs. evil.

Stormy is interested in books about magic and good versus evil. She enjoyed the Thickety series and is only missing the last book. She enjoyed the BFG and The One and Only Ivan. She would like other books by K.A Applegate, Alyssa Sheinmel, and Kami Garcia.
