The Dark Hills Divide – Patrick Carmen

Alexa Mischief Daley is probaly her name from my perspective of the book. It starts out when Alexa is on her way to Bridewell with her father. She unpacks all of her stuff and gets ready for another summer. Every summer she goes to Bridewell and dreams of being on the other side of the walls. The walls were made by Warvold because he felt that Bridewell needed to be protected. Well, on the day Alexa got to Bridewell, Warvold asked for Alexa to go on a walk with him. On that night, Warvold died. 🙁 The next day, Alexa goes to the library and finds a way out of the walls. She goes to a forest where she is lead by a boy named Yipes (cute name huh). She found a stone called a Jocasta. The Jocasta allows her to communicate with animals. The animals she meets are a wolf, Darius, bear, and a chipmunk, named Murphy. The animals told her that there is someone that is betraying Bridewell. Someone is going to destroy it. It is up to Alexa to save Bridewell. The person who is going to destroy Bridewell goes by Sebastian. This book is good for both girls and boys although, I think girls may like it a tad bit better.It is a fast read and I highly reccomend it. Enjoy!
