The Hedgehog Child is an enchanting prequel to The Witch Ways series. Hettie Way and her granddaughters live in Havoc Wood, when one day a cursed child arrives. As Hettie seeks to protect the child, she also worries what the future holds for her granddaughters. The Hedgehog Child is a delightful taste of the spellbinding, but dangerous Havoc Wood. Drawing on elements from Sleeping Beauty, the story introduced personable characters and villainous fairies alike. The writing style reminded me of Robin McKinley. This is my first experience with Slavin’s work, but I feel completely intrigued! I will definitely pick up the first book in the series, Crooked Daylight, to see what happens next. The Hedgehog Child releases June 18, 2020. Thank you to Helen Slavin, Agora Books, and Netgalley for a free ARC of this book in exchange for an honest review.
