Wendigo Forest by C.A. King
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Wendigo Forest is an exciting Young Adult paranormal fantasy from C.A. King. I’ve enjoyed many of King’s books and this is a fun short read that introduces us to yet another world from her imagination.
Wendigo Forest is an urban fantasy. It feels a bit like Supernatural at times, if Sam and Dean had a teenager in tow who thought they had some exciting but decidedly un-supernatural job. Clara is tired of constantly moving from place to place, from school to school. She doesn’t see the point in trying to make new friends. At her new school, though, her classmates are going out of their way to welcome her and involve her in their community.
I liked the inclusion of Mr Flufunny! It makes a lot of sense that Clara would rely on a familiar comfort and seemingly silly rituals as her life is always so unsettled.
For me, this is a four-star book that left me wanting more. I really hope we get to hear how Clara’s next adventure goes (but if not, there’s plenty to inspire my imagination!).
Fans of C.A. King will love this new story, and it’s a great entry point. It’s a short, easy read and geared towards older teen and young adult readers so it’s a great way to get a taste of King’s fantastic writing and imagination before trying a longer book.
