the unknown has always been something that has frightened me- the woods being one of them. similar to the ocean, there has so much of the woods that has yet to be explored (by me at least). following trisha go through very raw and humane emotions made the story feel tense. we notice the immediate transformation that takes place within this young girl as she is fighting to stay alive. the growth and adaptability of the human body is incredible. the mind has a way of contorting reality when it is scared and deprived of its needs.
the only issue that this book had was that it felt sort of unrealistic. trisha is a nine-year-old girl who reads as though she is 20. she is extremely malnourished and walks miles upon miles while suffering from multiple health conditions. each day she miraculously “recovers” and the cycle continues.
if you can get past all of this, you will enjoy this book. quick read!
