Carly is not your typical 11-year-old girl. she sleeps during the day unwillingly and awakens at night. in a little town called Whistle Root, vegetables are mysteriously left on people's roofs and music is heart at night. she awakens one night to meet a rat that soon leads her on a mysterious adventure that teaches carly about friendship, magic, and family. Personally, it's an okay story, but a little childish. It's definitely written from a unique perspective and is a story that is unusual. If you like books like Dork Diaries and A Wrinkle in Time, you'll probably like The Mysterious Woods of Whistle Root.
