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: Her mother is stolen away―by a
figure who claims to come from the Hinterland, the cruel supernatural
world where her grandmother's stories are set. Alice's only lead is the
message her mother left behind: “Stay away from the Hazel Wood.”
Alice has long steered clear of her grandmother’s cultish fans. But now she has no choice but to ally with classmate Ellery Finch, a Hinterland superfan who may have his own reasons for wanting to help her. To retrieve her mother, Alice must venture first to the Hazel Wood, then into the world where her grandmother's tales began―and where she might find out how her own story went so wrong.

Why am I waiting on this book? This book won't be out until next January, but I've read so many great things about it. It sounds really good!
