8-12)Ī successful juvenile by the beloved New Yorker writer portrays a farm episode with an imaginative twist that makes a poignant, humorous story of a pig, a spider and a little girl. Solid middle-grade adventure with fantasy elements, this would be good even for able young readers who can stomach the early unfortunate event. A table of contents, intriguing chapter names and occasional authorial warnings add interest. The author’s love for the Norwegian setting is evident. But it takes some adult help and a timely javelin throw to make things right again. Also naturally, he discovers the forest’s secrets and the role of the Changemaker, Professor Horatio Tanglewood, who wrote the book. Samuel finds a book describing them in the (also forbidden) attic of his aunt’s home. It’s filled with evil creatures, including trolls, truth pixies, huldres and worse. The forest, in a remote part of Norway, had already taken their uncle.
Not his grieving sister, who walks off into the forest near their Aunt Eda’s house, although it was explicitly forbidden. Not his parents, killed by falling logs although he told them to stop their car.
