About this ebook

17-year-old Zaidyn Mitchell thinks being known as a book nerd is weird enough—until he wakes up on his bedroom ceiling. 


A newbie-weird-wizard-extraordinaire—Zaidyn must navigate his newfound identity, learn to fit in with his fellow freaks, and avoid scaring away Piper Duke, the girl of his dreams. 


Thinking to impress her, he agrees to help Piper’s father promote a project for a new library in a fairytale-like wooded area outside of town—but Project-Impress-Piper-With-a-Library backfires as Piper, along with his parents, strives to protect the wooded land.


The rules for the magical community are simple: avoid discovery and keep to your own kind. Despite warnings from friends and foes, Zaidyn pursues a relationship with the normal human Piper, earning them both the ire—and retaliation—of the ones in charge. 


Zaidyn seeks answers. Who really owns the woods? Why is someone so bent on destroying them? And what are his parents and the other magical adults hiding in there?


As he grows closer to the answers—and to Piper—the outside pressure mounts, building toward a conclusion that makes Zaidyn wonder if they will ever truly be…


 …out of the woods.

What would you do if you went to bed one night perfectly normal, apart from being labelled as a book nerd, and woke up on the ceiling? That's what happens to Zaidyn Mitchell at the start of B. B. Swann's excellent magical fantasy, Out of the Woods. Poor Zaidyn not only has to cope with finding that he's a wizard and learning to deal with his new reality, but also trying desperately not to alienate Piper Duke, the girl of his dreams. I loved this book from the start (and even more so by the end) so I'm delighted that it is the first in a series. I haven't read any of B. B. Swann's books before but I have to say that I am impressed by her writing. Her characters are three dimensional and very well drawn, her plot is sound and well thought out, important for me especially in fantasy novels where it's easier to use magic to cope with problems. Ms Swann definitely doesn't cheat, she produces first class, thoroughly enjoyable fiction and I can't recommend Out of the Woods highly enough.

About the author

B.B. Swann is a mother of three young adults, a wife (of another big kid but don’t tell him she said that), and a 20+ year veteran teacher of little firsties. She has all the age groups covered and draws on their influence when writing her books. Picture books, young adults, new adults, and beyond, they all have one thing in common—life experiences, both the good and the challenging.
