Book Review - Secrets of the Home Wood: The Sacrifice by Julie Whitley

The James family holds a dangerous secret. The forest behind their home is not normal. It holds a mysterious portal to another world.

Although entering the 'home wood' is forbidden by his Grandfather, one day Jonathan crosses the creek into the treelike after watching his father disappear into the woods. His mother Sarah is sucked in too, and soon the three of them are launched on a quest to find each other in a dangerous new world on the eve of war.

The three factions have coexisted in harmony since the first time Jonathan's father, David, came though the portal as a child. He ended the first war, and is now a legend. As the most brutal faction of the three faces a coup, Jonathan, David, and Sarah join forces with the Snugg family. Separated by conflict, the Snuggs struggle to find each other as well.

Secrets of the Home Wood is a whimsical fantasy adventure with a new surprise on every page. The suspense and twists are never ending, and Whitley does an excellent job encapsulating the politics and repercussions of war in a well-crafted debut. Secrets of the Home Wood is high on my recommendation list - five stars for sure.
