Alice 'AJ' Johnson's dad was his best friend. They did everything together, and his dad's death has left AJ drifting. At school AJ spends his break time hiding in the old woods behind the playground. It is the only place he doesn't feel alone. However, his moms have other plans. They're moving the family to Australia at the end of the school year.
AJ can't leave the memories of his dad behind so he decides to run away to his grandparents' house. The fastest route to the bus stop is through the woods.
When early morning turns to night, AJ knows something is very wrong. Lost in the Dead Woods, a twisted Wonderland where the world of the dead overlays the world of the living, AJ must navigate his way through to find his way home. If he remains he'll be lost forever. Or eaten, for the Dead Ones are hungry.

The Haunted National Park: A Tale from the Peter Wood Multiverse
When Peter and his friends sneak out late at night and wander off the beaten trail while visiting the Haunted National Park, they find themselves in the company of a deeply troubled soul whose magical powers threaten to spread her anguish and fury. Both of which manifest themselves in the form of an emerald green inferno. But as they race to help subdue the force of nature that they unwittingly awoke, Peter struggles with a surprisingly difficult question: should he race to alert the adults back at the campgrounds so that they can put an end to the rampage headed their way before she even gets there? Or perhaps he should run back off into the woods in search of the one person who could perhaps, save the woman from self-destruction. _________________________________________ This story is part of an anthology following different versions of Peter Wood and their friends during their misadventures in the Paranormal World. It's meant to be a preview into the world of the middle-grade series of novels that I've been working on for years now. That being said, the events of this anthology will be taking place in alternate universes so that I can still comfortably write the main novels without having to worry too much about how these side stories will fit into it all.Complete
