"A wonderful addition to a family favorite series. Aimed for older elementary children, it is a novel for independent readers higher third grade and above. Each book is a stand-alone with the same characters, so start today with The Whispering Woods. Highly recommend. Intriguing without being overly scary, gory, or having offensive language that you would prefer that your kids not read." 
"I love how they come up with a solution to the problem. Nice plot twist. Love the ending. Great characters that the reader can connect with."
