Otherwood

Author: Pete Hautman

Format: Paperback

Recommended for ages 8+

Pete Hautman's middle-grade novel follows Stuey and his best friend, Elly Rose, who spend their afternoons in the deadfall at the heart of the woods until an impossible, reality-splitting event changes everything. As the two try to make sense of what has happened, the strange things Stuey's late Grandpa Zach used to say begin to ring true.

This is a story about memory, loss and the damage that secrets can do, but also about how friendship, honesty and persistence can help mend a broken world.
