The Thickety #2: The Whispering Trees Audiobook

Quotes

• “The Whispering Trees is a thrilling sequel: a whirlwind of suspense and twists. J. A. White isn’t just a fantastic writer and storyteller—he spins myths that feel as old as the Thickety itself. A must-read series for every age.”

  — Soman Chainani, New York Times bestselling author of The School for Good and Evil

• “Crosses and double-crosses abound…The twisted plot is perfectly matched by the twisted atmosphere. White has hit his stride in this follow-up to A Path Begins, in many ways surpassing the series opener. He’s created a vivid, unsettling environment of rich magic and terrifying horrors: monsters composed of bones and teeth, tentacled creatures that feed on feelings, shadows that consume bodies, and more. Kara still seems much older than her twelve years, but that’s a minor complaint that doesn’t distract from the lush descriptions of a spine-tingling, captivating place.”

  — Booklist (starred review)

• “The plot turns come fast and furious…The nail-biting suspense will keep readers turning the pages late into the night, and in Kara, readers will find a protagonist to root for…Readers who enjoyed the spine-chilling first installment will be eager to get their hands on this sequel.”

  — School Library Journal

• “Continues the story of twelve-year-old Kara Westfall and her brother, Taff…The unexpected climax and ending guarantee another book to enjoy. Readers new to the series will catch up quickly thanks to White’s adept incorporation of back story. This title has all the ingredients—a doughty heroine and her admirable younger brother, an unreliable guide who can’t stay the same age for long, and a heavy ‘ick’ factor—to keep readers glued to it.”
