Product Description
From AudioFile
Simon Vance brings Matt Haigs magical tale to life, employing his vast vocal talents to immerse the listener in an eerie world populated by a fearful aunt, a faithful dog, a fanatical hermit, and fantastical Norse creatures. Vances skill with accents gives each character a unique voice and breathes life into all. Orphans Samuel and Martha are sent to Norway to live with Aunt Eda at the edge of Shadow Forest. She has rules for everything, and the most important is: Never--under any circumstances--go into the forest. Strange creatures and occurrences abound in the place where Uncle Henrik disappeared 10 years earlier. When Samuel sees Martha wander into the forest, he follows to rescue her . . . and the magical adventure begins. N.E.M. © AudioFile 2007, Portland, Maine-- Copyright © AudioFile, Portland, Maine

Wouldn't go much under ten for the reader's age, Mar 8 2008
By Holiday Adair - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Samuel Blink And The Forbidden Forest (Hardcover)
I started to read this to my 6 year old and though she liked it, she said to stop reading it even before the boy enters the forest - too scary and sad (the parents die in a car wreck, sister becomes an elective mute, Samuel hates his aunt who lost her husband to the forest) and the forest is described in scary terms. I continued to read it to myself and thought it was a great boook (I read the end to my daughter and she liked that).

Great Book, Dec 31 2008
By Zelda Clutchbucket - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Samuel Blink and the Forbidden Forest (Paperback)
I am always on the lookout for new books for my grandchildren. This one fits the bill. It is scary, but not too scary....funny....sad.....and has a good ending. I would not recommend it for children under the age of 10 to 12 though. It will definitely be on my grandsons' gift list for next year.

great read!!, Nov 15 2007
By big readers "boy's mom" - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Samuel Blink And The Forbidden Forest (Hardcover)
My nine-year-old couldn't put this book down--it is well-written and interesting, with just enough suspense and comedy for a boy this age.
Listmania!
