About the Author
Matt Haig is the author of two adult novels, The Dead Fathers Club and The Last Family in England. UK reviewers have said of his writing: "totally engrossing," "touching, quirky and macabre," "a comic tour de force," and "so surprising and strange that it vaults into a realm all of its own . . . most of all it allows Haig to indulge his innocently acute eye for detail and his delightfully weird imagination." Samuel Blink and the Forbidden Forest is his first novel for young readers. He lives in the UK.

Wouldn't go much under ten for the reader's age,
This review is from: Samuel Blink and the Forbidden Forest (Hardcover)
I started to read this to my 6 year old and though she liked it, she said to stop reading it even before the boy enters the forest - too scary and sad (the parents die in a car wreck, sister becomes an elective mute, Samuel hates his aunt who lost her husband to the forest) and the forest is described in scary terms. I continued to read it to myself and thought it was a great boook (I read the end to my daughter and she liked that).

Great Book,

This review is from: Samuel Blink and the Forbidden Forest (Mass Market Paperback)
I am always on the lookout for new books for my grandchildren. This one fits the bill. It is scary, but not too scary....funny....sad.....and has a good ending. I would not recommend it for children under the age of 10 to 12 though. It will definitely be on my grandsons' gift list for next year.

This review is from: Samuel Blink and the Forbidden Forest (Hardcover)
My nine-year-old couldn't put this book down--it is well-written and interesting, with just enough suspense and comedy for a boy this age.
