Track the ghost cat! Step into the shiny sneakers of the irrepressible Lila Banks as she follows her cat Orangesicle--and fights to survive the night--in a forest where trails move around, strange creatures prowl, and pets are not always what they seem.

"Sylvan Woods is a splendid conception" (Kirkus Reviews)--and this middle grade adventure book is a fun, spooky standalone backdoor into the magnificent SW world.

When Lila Banks decides to take a hike on her twelfth birthday, she doesn't expect to be stalked by the ghost of her recently-deceased cat. He was never very nice, but trying to eat her takes unlikable to a whole new level.

A middle grade fantasy/adventure with a central mystery, a monster, and touch of horror for ages 8 and up.
