I did guess parts of Timmy’s secrets before they were revealed, but the actual revelation made me tear up so much!! It was so emotional! I loved the friendship that blossomed between Ari and Timmy, and it was good to see Ari having a chance at something like a ‘normal’ childhood while the two were together (if hunting a monster can be called normal!!). When you make a true friend, you never really say goodbye.’ ‘I didn’t have any friends either, but don’t be sad, Ari. ‘Confession time,’ he whispers in my ear. When Ari makes a friend in the woods of all places and he warns him of the Twig Man’s awakening, Ari is sure: he needs to brave his deepest, darkest fears in order to get his sister back! Even if that means fighting the monster itself! Haven’t you figured out by now? Nothing is impossible if you truly believe! But then he hears more and more children talk about the story again and wonders… what if the Twig Man took Lana? In the beginning, Ari doesn’t really believe in the urban legend of his hometown Hanging Hills: the Twig Man – a monster who supposedly pulls children into his dark lair in the woods, for them never to be seen again. Only that way, they don’t give him much chance at a normal life.
Of course, as an adult, I can see their side of the coin too – and why they want to do everything in their might to protect Ari and keep him away from danger. It must have been so frustrating for him to feel it in his heart and bones that his sister was still close by and that something else must have happened to her, but his parents never seemed to listen. Only Ari knows this isn’t true his sister was his best friend and would never leave him! His parents think she left to travel through Europe, or that she made bad friends and left her family behind on purpose. It’s been a year since Ari’s sister Lana disappeared, and nothing has been the same since. No one else will listen so it’s up to Ari to save her but he had better hurry, as Ari finds himself next on the Twig Man’s list… She was taken by the Twig Man, the creepy monster that’s haunted the woods for a hundred years. It’s been a year since nearly twelve-year-old Ari’s older sister, Lana, ran away, except Ari knows what happened. What a ride! A huge thank you to LiterallyPR, Hashtag Press, and the author for my copy of The Twig Man and my spot on the blog tour! This book is the perfect read for spooky season, so read on to find out what it’s about, and for my detailed review!īeware The Twig Man, the Twig Man’s hex. I’m just drying the last tears this book gave me towards to end so I can write my review.
