Zo And The Forest Of Secrets - Alake Pilgrim

 


Zo decides to run away and heads to the forests in the north of Trinidad; however, she soon discovers that all is not what it seems and that the forest holds secrets that she could never have imagined.  Encountering unusual creatures and a lost boy during her journey, Zo must understand what is happening before she is lost in the forest forever.

This was a refreshingly different book that combines nature and sci-fi in a unique way.  From the start, we are treated to rich description of the island, from the bustling market to the lush forest which isn't at all what it first appears to be.  With unusual creatures emerging and secrets evolving throughout the book, this story will keep readers guessing and gripped.  

Zo is a strong character but I liked the fact that there were doubts there as well: it showed her human side. 

Full of atmosphere and mystery, with twists and surprises you won't see coming, Zo And The Forest Of Secrets is a unique read and I can't wait for book 2!
