Fairfold sits on the edge of a forest, and deep within that forest, there has existed a glass coffin for as long as anyone can remember. They have hunted faeries since they were children (Hazel with her sword, and Ben with his hypnotizing music), and Hazel has always wanted to be a warrior. But Hazel and Ben Evans, a pair of local teens, know just how dangerous the faeries can actually be. If the tourists thought the faeries were dangerous, they would stop coming, and the town’s economy would suffer. Sometimes people go missing in Fairfold, but no one wants to talk about it because tourists flock to the town to see the faeries and experience their magic. In the strange town of Fairfold, Pennsylvania, humans and faeries live side-by-side in an uneasy truce. She has received a Newbery Honor, the Andre Norton Award, and the Mythopoeic Award. The story takes place in a world where humans and faeries live side-by-side, and two siblings must weather the challenges of growing up alongside the dangers of the “fae.” Black is a prolific author of fiction for children and teens, and her titles include such works as The Spiderwick Chronicles, The Coldest Girl in Coldtown, and Doll Bones. First published in 2015, The Darkest Part of The Forest is a young adult fantasy novel by Holly Black.
