The Poison Season was hard to put down! After reading the first few chapters I was sucked in.
The story takes place on an island containing a magical, and bloodthirsty, forest surrounded by a lake of poison. On this island resides a community of people with magic who escaped to this island to live in peace. They and the forest help each other, but secrets abound.
Leelo grew up on the island and was taught to serve the forest and her people, to keep them all safe. When an outsider, by unfortunate circumstances, arrives on the island Leelo's life is changed forever.
There is a sinister feel to the book from the start. The community survives through sacrifices; accidental or intentional. There are many secrets to the forest and community.
This book is not about a girl who goes on great adventures. The setting takes place mostly on a small island. It's a book about secrets, family, community, and love, and the lengths one will go to for all of them.
