'The world has teeth and it could bite you with them anytime it wanted. Trisha McFarland discovered this when she was nine years old. Lost in the woods.'

Trisha has only veered a little way off the trail. But in her panic to get back to the path, Trisha takes a turning that leads into the tangled undergrowth. Deeper and deeper in the terrifying woods.

At first it's just the bugs, midges and mosquitoes. Then comes the hunger. For comfort she tunes her Walkman into broadcasts of the Red Sox baseball games and the performances of her hero Tom Gordon.

As darkness begins to fall, Trisha realises that she is not alone. There's something else in the woods - watching. Waiting . . .

Critic Reviews

A compelling battle for survival that you dare not put down
Moving, gripping. One of his best . . . A literary home run
Vintage King . . . the quality of the prose is consistently impressive and his trump card is his ability to arouse empathy for the plight of his young heroine

If you are like me and really enjoy a good narration, skip this book. It grated on my nerves through out and was a constant distraction.

A touching story of little girl lost really has you rooting for her survival. King has mastered the art of harnessing the weakness of humans and making the natural appear supernatural. I would recommend this book to anyone with parents and to young adults. Heche’s vocals did the story justice.

A fantastic read

The story itself is amazing and one you could lose yourself in, but the narrator was somewhat left to be desired. The audio effects used were serviceable, but the rest was lack-lustre.
