 Thank you to Penguin Random House for the finished copy in exchange for my honest review.

Four friends go on the adventure of a lifetime to try and bring back Cordelia’s dad and to try and save the glades that they live in that are sick. The only person that the children think can fix it has died, and they want to find a way to bring him back. Not only because he still has so much to teach them, but so he can fix the glades as well.

Overall this book was an enjoyable read. The main characters is dealing with grief and wanting their dad to come back. All while also trying to save where they live that is also grieving. The glades having emotions as well and the animals coming to life was enchanting and shows the mystery of the glades and how the stories Cordelia’s father told the children come to life. 

Into the Glades is a good book that shows how grieving happens differently for everyone, but that isn’t a bad thing. If anything it shows everyone’s uniqueness when it comes to dealing with emotions and how those emotions need to be felt, bottling them up isn’t good. 

I can’t wait to see what the author comes up with next!
