In the Woods

by Robin Stevenson

In the Woods, the story of a boy who finds a newborn abandoned in the woods, is really more of a novella than a novel. It's a quick read (it took me about 25 minutes), and it's interesting, but there's very little character development. The characters are essentially just stereotypes. I think kids might enjoy it because it's so short and because the topic is engaging, but it's not particularly memorable.
