Thieves of Weirdwood by William Shivering, Christian McKay Heidicker

5.0

Rating 4.5/5

This book needs WAY more love than it's been getting. The first chapter of this book was so creepy and memorable and it resulted in such a fun book that blends horror, portal fantasy, and whimsy.

I was hooked from the start and enjoyed figuring out what secrets were being kept from whom. The characters each tackled obstacles in ways that felt authentic to their characters, which added a level of realism into this world and the stakes in this book felt super high.

I somehow didn't see the final reveal coming either and am so excited for the sequel.

If you're a lover of middle grade, I highly recommend picking this one up!
