The Woman in the Wood by Lesley Pearse
5.0
Fifteen year old twins Duncan and Maisy Mitcham are woken in the middle of the night only to discover that their mother is being taken away to an asylum. According to their father it's the best thing for her.
Within a few days of their mother leaving Duncan and Maisy are being sent to live with their cold hearted grandmother at Nightingales which is located deep in the New Forrest countryside. Their grandmother is not kind, loving or caring towards them and she leaves them to do as they pleased as long as they left her alone. Janice the housekeeper was the opposite of their grandmother, she was warm, caring and always baking them scrumptious treats.
Being allowed to do as they wanted, Duncan and Maisy often went off on their own riding their bikes into the woods and enjoying their own adventures and meeting some of the local kids. Only one day Duncan goes off on his own and doesn't return for dinner that night. Their grandmother shows no care or worry, but as the days pass and then weeks, Maisy knows something isn't right, especially when the police have no clues as to where he might be. Maisy believes the only person who may know where her brother is could be Grace Deville. Grace lived in the woods on her own and despite the rumors about the woman she and Duncan had become rather friendly with one another. Did Grace know where or what had happened to Duncan?
You know a book is good when it rests on your mind for a few days. But a BRILLIANT book makes you want to tell everyone about it and you wish they'd start reading it straight away. Yes, you've guessed it, I REALLY enjoyed this book, so what are you waiting for, go grab a copy and start reading, you know you want to. Highly recommended.
