A Path Begins is the thrilling start of a middle grade fantasy series about a girl, a mysterious forest, and a book of untold magical powers. Kara and her brother, Taff, are shunned by their village because their mother was a witch. The villagers believe nothing is more evil than magic, except for what lurks in the nearby Thickety. But when Kara enters the forbidden forest, she discovers a strange book, a grimoire that might have belonged to her mother. The events she then sets in motion are both awe-inspiring and terrifying. And that is just the beginning of the story—there are three more adventures in the Thickety to explore after this first book in the series. - Publishers Weekly Best Book - IndieBound Indie Next List - Publishers Weekly Flying Start - Amazon's Big Spring Books - Washington Post Summer Book Club
