Windy loves books. Her collection fills her room, and whenever she needs quiet or an escape from life as a teenager, she picks one up. Thanks to a special gift from her grandmother, she has the power to be totally absorbed in the stories she loves. This story is part teen journal and part mystery. Windy's life is front and center in this book. The occasional references to how she misses her mother, grandmother, and father offer key perspectives about how Windy sees the world. The story moves smoothly and it is easy to keep up with the plot. Teens will relate to Windy. However, Windy's life happens largely in isolation, the other characters are largely absent: her father is traveling, her mother is dead, and a step-mother that just pops in/out. This may not be an environment you want to condone or encourage for your teen. The subtle, underlying message in this book is that a love of reading sparks your imagination...and you can transport yourself into a story.

The Secret In The Attic is a deftly written fantasy novel recommended for preteens and young adults, about a girl who inherits a secret gift from her grandmother, opening the doorway to adventures. In the course of her journey she experiences personal growth and discovery, braves challenges of mettle and spirit, finds courage and learns the hard meaning of remorse. A brief yet original and captivating story.

I have just read Windy Wildwood:The Secret in the Attic. I really enjoyed the book. I thought the book was so real, I was in the attic with Windy. I love Windy, she is like me. Please let me know when the next book is out. Thank you. Allissa

I am a high school teacher, and I highly recommend this book for all ages. I was astounded by the descriptive scenes, fantastic character development, and astonishing content. This book is a delight for all ages, and I would consider this book as apart of classroom curriculum in the english department. I can hardly wait for the next book in the series to come out.
