What's This Book About

Publisher Summary

Ryan’s dad had a lot of rules: Never let others see you cry. Never let people outside of the family hear you speaking Spanish. But the most important rule of all? Never go into the hungry forest. Since his father’s death, Ryan has worked extra hard to follow his father’s rules and be the kind of man his father would be proud of. But Ryan’s anger is getting out of control, and he can’t seem to stop taking it out on his younger brother Teddy. When Teddy and Ryan think they hear their father calling them from The Hungry Forest, Ryan ventures in. Teddy was supposed to wait outside, but he didn’t listen, and is quickly captured by a terrifying, masked monster. With no sign of Dad and monsters closing in, one thing is clear: The forest is as cursed as the legends say. If Ryan can’t find his brother and escape the woods before sunrise, they’ll be trapped there forever. Ryan and Teddy will have to face their fears-and each other-to make it out alive.
