Trapped in a nightmare. No one has ever escaped...
Her powers are growing. So are the dangers
Oksa Pollock has made some pretty incredible discoveries in the last few months, not least that she's the queen of the lost magical land of Edefia. As if that wasn't enough for any thirteen-year-old to be dealing with, her mother is still desperately ill after being attacked by Edefia's unscrupulous enemies, and now her best friend in the whole world, Gus, has become trapped in the Forest of Lost Souls.
Entering that terrifying place is the rescue party: Oksa and a few fellow Runaways-including the moody, mysterious Tugdual. In the forest the group must all face their own personal demons, not to mention an assortment of horrific creatures, in a desperate attempt to bring Gus back alive.
But even if Oksa and her group make it through the wastelands and the monsters, there are greater threats to face: betrayal, grief, and the end of the world itself. And it's only just beginning...
The Forest of Lost Souls is the second book in the phenomenal Oksa Pollock series, following on from The Last Hope. The third in the series, The Heart of Two Worlds is coming soon.

Anne Plichota was born in Dijon, France, and after studying Chinese language and culture spent several years living and working in Korea and China.
Cendrine Wolf was born in the Alsace region of France. She studied sports, and went on to work with teenagers in deprived neighbourhoods.
Cendrine and Anne have been friends for almost two decades and have always wanted to find a project to work on together (including plans to open an English delicatessen in eastern France!) They are glad they finally found one.
Den her bog udkom i februar. Lad os lige tænke et øjeblik over det.
Godt. Hvorfor har jeg så ikke læst den før nu? Det har jeg ingen forklaring på. Da jeg besluttede mig for at læse den nu, var det fordi, jeg fandt ud af, at bog tre udkommer til oktober. Ååååh jeg glæder mig! Især efter den her slutning.
Bogen fortsætter i samme stil som fra den forrige, med masser af sjove oplevelser, action, rappe replikker osv. De ”personer” bogen indeholder, er simpelthen så godt udtænkt. Tumble-Bawler er virkelig fantastisk, han kan virkelig få en til at trække på smilebåndet. Hold op, han er sjov! :) Og Gus. Åh Gus. Han er så sød, selv med al sin naivitet. Og Oksa, hun er stadig modig, sej, cool. Jeg er en meget, meget glad læser.
Historien er rigtig fin og sød, men jeg nåede et punkt, hvor jeg følte, at nu blev det trukket for langt, men knap havde jeg tænkt tanken til ende, før historien tog en ny drejning. Det er virkelig en fin historie. Det er fantasy for de lidt yngre, måske 12-14 år, men det er simpelthen bare så godt og sødt og ih altså. Jeg kan slet ikke anbefale serien nok, og synes altså godt snart I kunne tage at komme i gang med bøgerne. Det vil I ikke fortryde! :)
