They battle to the death but Kara wins.

Readers Review

This book was chosen for the brochure because the use of imagery and the storyline is so suspenseful that you cannot put the book down once you start to read it. This book really spoke to me,

The island is very poor wit5h little knowledge about richer countries. The time frame is from many years because there is no advanced technology or even running water throughout their village. Also the people of De’Norn believe in witches, shunning them. This also proves that this took place thousands of years ago, for witchcraft is from the 1700s.
An extremely important place in The Thickety, is the Thickety. The Thickety is a dark forest full of unwanted creatures. Once you go into the thickety, it gobbles you up into the unwanted world. This is also where Kara’s mother hid the grimoire and where Karas finds it. She finds the grimoire after seeing horrifying creatures through the darkness.
