In this middle-grade contemporary fantasy, The Secret in the Wood, Sara is feeling sorry for herself about moving out of the home she loves until she discovers a lively tree fairy named Althea trapped in a wood panel of her bedroom wall. Sara reluctantly teams up with the boy who will be moving into her room so they can help free the fairy. This ebook version of the original Knock on Wood, by S. L. Lipson, contains interactive hidden images, as well as sheet music for musical readers to try playing an enchanting song called "Dance of the Trees," written by the author as part of a soundtrack for the story. The Secret in the Wood is a story of relationships: between family members, friends, mentors and pupils, the living and the departed, and Nature and society. And it is a story about moving out and moving on in life. For upper-elementary school readers.
