Ghost Wood Song

dark
hopeful
inspiring
Ghost Wood Song is an example of magical realism at its finest! What I loved about this story was the bond of music that the central characters shared, and how they take their art out into nature and then the stage and just play together.
The main character, Shady, is a fiddle player and she lost her father four years ago in a car accident. Now his fiddle, which has the magic to summon ghosts, is needed to clear her brother's name of a murder, and put the family's secrets to rest once and for all. I wasn't sold by the cohesiveness of the story in the very beginning. Something seemed to be missing. However, I really enjoyed the writing, the representation, and the magic in the story, and I wanted to see where the music would take the characters so I am glad I stuck with it. Overall, I would call this read a 3.5 but I rounded up to a 4 because I did like the ending.
