The Whispering Trees / J. A. White / 517 pages

In The Thickety, Kara Westfall and her brother, Taff, had escaped into the forbidden thickets after magic changed their father, corrupted Grace, and forced them to run for their lives.  In this second book in The Thickety Series, Kara and Taff meet legendary Mary Kettle, an evil witch who could not resist the tenacious call of magic.  Posing as a friend, she helps Kara and Taff escape from Sordyr, the Forest Demon, while she trains Kara as a Wexari.  Kara can communicate telepathically with animals...even the animals that Sordyr has corrupted.  Sordyr needs Kara to escape his imprisonment on the island.  His release will free the creatures on the island but will threaten the rest of the world.  "Either way you look at it, someone is going to suffer...There is no right answer."  Sordyr's plans are catastrophic...  Can Kara stop him?
