Publisher's summary

Fourteen-year-old Vega Jane lives in the village of Wormwood, where life is nasty, brutish, and short. Villagers have been told that there is nothing outside of Wormwood except for the Quag, a foul forest filled with terrifying beasts. No one comes, no one goes, and Wormwood has stayed this way for generations. Until Vega's friend Quentin Herms disappears.

Quentin leaves Vega a secret message hinting that there's a way out of Wormwood and something extraordandinary on the other side. As Vega begins to investigate, she realizes that Wormwood is a village built on dangerous lies. And that powerful people are willing to kill in order to keep it that way. Soon Vega is careening down a path that will either lead straight to the truth...or straight into an early grave.

Strong female reader needed

I couldn’t get into this book because of the weak sounding narrator who made Vega Jane sound like a wimpy little girl when in fact she was an amazingly tough heroine. The narrator ruined it for me.

Surprised by my enjoyment of it

Enthralling and engaging. Couldn't wait to get back to the story. Bought this one as a "drive to and from work" book & ended up listening on my lunch breaks, at night with headphones and at the office (when I could sneak it onto my computer speakers)!! enjoyed this so much more than I expected. Already purchased book 2 & have book 3 in my que! Highly recommend Baldacci, no matter the book!

Great book

If I could give it more stars I would. Nicola was a great orator. Many voices, and very entertaining.

Finisher review

The worst book I have ever read by Baldacci
Not even close to par that we are used to

Not a typical Baldacci

Didn’t make it thru the second chapter. Not sure what the plot was. Do not recommend.
