TRUST NO ONE. NOT EVEN YOURSELF.
After a devastating scandal breaks in her elite New York City private school, Magdalena is shipped off to her family home to spend a summer recovering under the radar. Over-medicated and under-confident, she spends her days in a fog, hiking in the woods behind her grandparents' cottage.
But then a gorgeous boy called Bo stumbles across her picnic blanket and Magdalena starts believing she might be able to move on from her past. Bo is wild and free and he gets her – it's like he can see into her soul. Finally she's starting to feel . . . something.
But there's something dark going on in this sleepy town, and when a mutilated body is found in the woods near Bo’s forest home, it’s clear that Magdalena’s nightmare is just beginning. She's no longer sure if she can trust anyone – even herself . . .
What She Found in the Woods is an addictive and all-consuming thriller with a twist from the internationally bestselling author of the Starcrossed series, Josephine Angelini.
PUBLISHERS WEEKLY
Angelini's (Trial by Fire) sometimes-gruesome mystery turned thriller teems with heart-pounding action and suspense. Wealthy New Yorker Magdalena, 18, is visiting her Pacific Northwest grandparents for the summer following a murder investigation at her private high school that led to a nervous breakdown and a stint in a mental health facility. Still heavily medicated, Magda is eager for a fresh start after her devastating lies ostracized her from parents and friends, and she slowly reunites with old summer acquaintances, including charming and manipulative Rob. When she meets Bo, who is living illegally with his family in the National Forest behind her grandparents' house, she falls for him. But as remnants of bodies start appearing in the woods and rumors circulate about a rogue scientist feeding drugs into the community, Magda investigates, risking those she loves. Though uneven character development is capped off with a too-tidy ending, Angelini intersperses Magda's first-person voice with flashbacks of her past to create a riveting portrait of an unreliable and cunning narrator. Includes trigger warnings for mentions of abuse, racism, and self-harm. Ages 14 up.
