Stirringly atmospheric and unsettling, full of grief and love and darkness but also hope, this is completely compelling! The blessed yet cursed town of Mistaken, the vivid cast of townspeople, and the mysterious threats of the world beyond their Warding Stones all captured my imagination. Greer is a character who will stick with you long after you turn the last thrilling page.

Here is Erin A. Craig’s A Land So Wide, which is the story of Greer Mackenzie, a resident of the seemingly prosperous Mistaken, who has a singular desire in life: to leave town. However, one cannot simply walk out of Mistaken, because beyond the borders of the town lie the woods, and in the woods, there are bears and stoats and weasels, as well as the Bright-Eyed, some truly horrific monsters. Naturally, Greer is a dreamer who is not daunted by images of being horribly dismembered by forest monsters, and she sets out on a grand adventure.
