Pan's Labyrinth meets The Hazel Wood in this novel about a girl
with terrifying visions and a wish-granting witch whose lives
collide in the most unexpected of ways. Bewitching, sensuous, and
spiked with the unexpected--The Waking Forest is a fever dream you
won't ever want to leave.-Joan He, author of The Descendent of the
Crane The waking forest has secrets. To Rhea, it appears like a
mirage, dark and dense, at the very edge of her backyard. But when
she reaches out to touch it, the forest vanishes. She's desperate
to know more--until she finds a peculiar boy who offers to reveal
its secrets. If she plays a game. To the Witch, the forest is her
home, where she sits on her throne of carved bone, waiting for
dreaming children to beg her to grant their wishes. One night, a
mysterious visitor arrives and asks her what she wishes for, but
the Witch sends him away. And then the uninvited guest returns. The
strangers are just the beginning. Something is stirring in the
forest, and when Rhea's and the Witch's paths collide, a truth more
treacherous and deadly than either could ever imagine surfaces. But
how much are they willing to risk to survive? A stunning, spooky,
and lyrical debut....The pacing is taut as the tension steadily
ramps up, creating an atmospheric read that is impossible to put
down. A sure hit for readers of edgy fantasy and fans of Stephanie
Garber's Caraval or Heidi Heilig's The Girl from Everywhere.-SLJ,

V januári 1965 Gabriel García Márquez cestoval s rodinou na
dovolenku do Acapulca, keď odrazu dostal nápad. Začul vravu
mestečka Macondo. Už vedel, ako napíše svoj nový román. Vrátil sa
domov, zatvoril sa do pracovne, a keď z nej po osemnástich
mesiacoch vyšiel, v ruke držal 1 300 strán rukopisu a bol šťastný.
Román Sto rokov samoty prvý raz vyšiel v roku 1967, Márquez mal
vtedy 39 rokov a svet si navždy zapamätal jeho meno. Dnes je román
považovaný za jedno z najvýznamnejších diel latinskoamerickej a
svetovej literatúry. Je komponovaný z množstva reálnych aj
fantazijných epizód a rozpráva o pôvabných i krutých príhodách
šiestich generácií rodiny Buendíovcov z fiktívneho mestečka
Macondo.
