Mella is four years old. She doesn't know why her mommy wears a chain, or why they can never leave the tiny house in the woods. She doesn't know why her daddy comes with the bad man, or why they have to be a secret. All she knows is she has to be brave, braver than any four-year-old should ever have to be.

When her mother sends her running into the tall trees for help, Mella will need every ounce of that courage. Because the real monsters aren't the ones lurking in the shadows of the forest. They're the ones already inside the house.

Told entirely through the eyes of a child too young to understand the horror she's living, and too brave to stop moving through it, In The Tall Trees is a story that will stay with you long after the last page.

This is not like anything I’ve read before. I went in blind and thoroughly enjoyed the ride. There are moments that are so tense they seem to go on forever. Can’t wait for the sequel.

Horrible and heartbreaking with flashes of wonder

I know this author is very capable of ripping your heart out and making you watch whilst she destroys it, and with this story she does just that!

But, I was surprised to get some respite from the horror endured throughout with the ending, which I found so so satisfying!

The audiobook was amazingly narrated by Laura Greaves and her portrayal of Mella was truly something! I love Mella with all my heart. She's a force of nature, even with all that's happened to her!

I thought the depiction of a child's perception of good and evil was amazing and truthful, plus the machinations of a child's brain to create a plausible explanation for the events is subjected to, was really well executed! I'm looking forward to the sequel.

I know that this story is loosely based on the author's experience and my heart goes out to her and to every child who should only know happiness.

Thanks to the author for the opportunity to listen to it and this is my honest opinion.

A heartbreaking tale through the eyes of a child!
