Wildwood by Helen Scott Taylor might have been written for Young Adults, but readers of all ages will find the characters compelling and the story hard to put down. Reminiscent of mysteries such as Nancy Drew and The Hardy Boys, a young Todd Hunter is determined to seek the truth about a local boys' death while he visits his grandfather for the summer. He is forced to use his intelligence and his strength to solve the crime. Todd is challenged at every turn in this exciting and unpredictable story. The paranormal elements give the book a modern feel and are woven in to the plot with the skill of a master storyteller.If you haven't read Helen Scott Taylor before, you can't go wrong to start with this book, then work your way through all the others. You'll be glad you did.
