Willa of the Wood (Willa of the Wood, Book 1) by Robert Beatty
Did not finish book. Stopped at 13%.

Checked this out from the library with the intent of reading it outlook. Then I remembered how slow reading out loud is and didn't make much progress.  It seemed like a good book, but I had held it too long and it needed to go back to the library.
