Robert Beatty is the author of the bestselling SERAFINA SERIES and the book WILLA OF THE WOOD, a tale of history, mystery and magic set in the Great Smoky Mountains.
WILLA OF THE WOOD is the story of a 12-year-old orphaned girl who lives deep in the Smokies in 1900. One of the last members of an ancient race of forest people who are highly in tune with the trees and animals, Willa spends her days and nights foraging and scavenging from the cabins of her people’s greatest enemies, the axe-wielding “newcomers.” Through a series of action-packed encounters and an unexpected kindness, Willa begins to realize that both the newcomers and her own people are not what she’s always been told, setting in motion her quest for a new home and sense of belonging in a changing world.
WILLA OF THE WOOD debuted at #1 on the New Times Best Sellers List. Kirkus Reviews calls it “A moving, atmospheric journey of hope.”
