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.

Whispering Woods
In the secluded village of Fernhaven, a foreboding forest looms at the edge of town. The villagers whisper of an ancient curse, claiming the trees have voices that call out to the young, luring them into the darkness. For years, the stories have remained legends-until children start disappearing. When her younger brother vanishes without a trace, 16-year-old Ivy Marlow refuses to believe he's lost forever. Armed with her courage and her brother's favorite charm, she ventures into the cursed woods. What she finds defies all logic-a hidden realm of twisted, sentient trees and ethereal creatures, where time flows unnaturally and the whispers grow louder. Ivy discovers that the forest is ruled by a vengeful spirit, bound by a centuries-old betrayal that has trapped it-and the missing children-within its domain. To save her brother, Ivy must navigate the woods' illusions, solve the riddle of the spirit's curse, and confront her own connection to the forest's dark past. But the deeper Ivy goes, the more she realizes: the woods don't just want her brother. They want her.Complete
