Review

The setting: a dark treacherous forest known as the Puszcza located in Poland. The Characters: a wolf named Martin who likes to read; a wood cutters daughter named Magia who's not afraid to walk alone in the woods and dreams of becoming a woodcutter some day; a carefully disguised witch and 3 pigs who miss their momma. A mash up of Folklore and Fantasy seems like it would be an awesome read. But to follow the many twists and turns and complicated story lines it was hard to get into and I feel this could be a bit challenging for the younger middle school reader.

Overall Book Score: good
