Only one comes back.\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e1989, Soviet Estonia. In sixteen-year-old Vik's village--and the cursed forest that looms beyond--danger is everywhere. Soldiers threaten those who so much as dream of dissent. The villagers' words are sharp with accusations of witchcraft. And deep in the heart of the wood, a lantern-eyed spirit lies in wait to disappear those who wander too far past the trees.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eVik knows because five years ago, she led her little sister Anna over that invisible line--and never saw her again.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe only thing Vik has wished for since then is her sister's safe return. So when Anna stumbles back through the tree line on the anniversary of her disappearance, it's a miracle...\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOr is it a lie?\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAs unsettling inconsistencies between this girl and the one who vanished reveal themselves, Vik starts to doubt whether this Anna is her Anna--or something else entirely. Whoever she is, one thing is clear: she was never meant to escape the trees.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAnd unless Vik can uncover the secrets of the forest, it's going to take her back.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eRooted in real history with a speculative twist, the horrors of And The Trees Stare Back are the ones we already know: existing as a marginalized person under a hostile state. Raising powerful questions about whose humanity counts and how to survive if the governing body decides yours doesn't, this politically incisive folk-horror irresistibly explores ever-relevant legacies of activism and solidarity.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eA \u003ci\u003eKirkus Reviews\u003c\/i\u003e Best Young Adult Book of the Year\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eA Junior Library Guild Gold Standard Selection\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eA YALSA Best Fiction for Young Adults Title\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eA CCBC Choice Book\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Gigi Griffis","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46048174997573,"sku":"BS-LIB-459124","price":19.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/2482\/2494\/files\/9780823459124-HD.jpg?v=1792323358","url":"https:\/\/libros787.com\/en\/products\/and-the-trees-stare-back","provider":"Libros787.com","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
