I have been a fan of mystery novels for as long as I can remember so I could not pass up the opportunity to read and review Forest Secrets.
Daisy Castillo is an 11 year old who ventures into the forest and discovers a young tree-human hybrid and endeavors to help her find her family. During this journey, Daisy and her new friends uncover a villainous plan to annihilate the forest. She channels her inner sleuth to brave the danger resulting from greed and save the forest's magical creatures.
I like the message of the book, Laurie Woodward's background in education shines through in this novel. Daisy Castillo develops well as a character and, through her, children can learn the importance of protecting the environment.
This book also faces an adult issue that children are unfortunately forced to face: separation of parents. I believe Woodward makes a sensitive subject easy to understand for the intended age group.

I received the book for free in exchange for my honest review, all opinions are my own.
