And the Trees Crept In

(3) YA Silla and her little sister run away from an abusive home to live with their aunt. For a time they are happy, but their aunt claims the woods are cursed, and every day the trees move closer. The slow build of suspense and fear, combined with Silla's believable rage at her situation and her well-rendered feelings of helplessness, create a dark, nuanced psychological mystery.
