The Twig Man, is a creepy monster that' has haunted the woods for one hundred years. No one else will listen to Ari if she tells people what happened to Lana. It all down to her now to find and save her sister. But, she better hurry as she is next on his list!!! The story has a good fast pace with Ari narrating his tale and us finding out more and more about the creepy things happening and the legend of the Twig Man as the story progresses. I just love how creepy and dark this story is. It’s a children’s horror so things can only get so dark, but for a children’s book I found some of the stuff happening so eerie and scary. The Twig Man is a terrifying legend and the strange creepy way the woods come alive and the way this is written about is so good to read and perfect if you are into getting some scares!

Twig Man Sana Rasoul’s spooky middle grade debut novel, The Twig Man

There is much to praise regarding the positive male representation within this story. Firstly, we have Ari’s father who is a Goliath among men but who is tender, soft, vulnerable, & emotionally available for himself, his wife, & his son. Throughout the entire novel, we see him adapt his conversational style so that the person he is speaking with does not become overwhelmed by the subject matter, primarily when discussing Lana. Ari has grown up with a positive father figure; a person worth applauding for their authenticity towards themselves & all those whom he loves. The Mr Twig Word Mat will improve your little one's vocabulary. This is because it will expose your child to new words and meanings. This will help your children improve reading and writing abilities, as well as become better communicators. It is important to note that the majority of the themes explored in this book deal with sensitive subject matters. My review, therefore, touches on these topics as well. Many people might find the subject matters of the book as well as those detailed in my review overwhelming. I would suggest you steer clear of both if this is the case. Please note that from this point forward I will be writing about matters which contain reflections on the death of a child, the abduction of children & minors, psychological distress, mental illness, grief, the death of a loved one, child endangerment, & others.

It follows Ari, a young boy with a missing sister who’s convinced something took her and that she didn’t just run away. His family lives close to the forest and one day when Ari enters the woods he catches the attention of something dark and old that lives there. Like most towns, they have Urban legends and this one is about The Twig Man who lives in the forest and steals the life of children. I thought that the atmosphere was very immersive and I really felt for Ari. He misses his sister and doesn’t have any real friends. His parents are very overprotective now and no one believes him when a sinister entity starts hunting him. If you love creepy forests and urban legends, this is the perfect book for you!

Though Ari has not had much experience with having friends, he shows the kindness his parents have given him when he meets Timmy; even when he is unsure of how to proceed he tries to default on being thoughtful & remembering that everyone is different. I really adored Ari as a character & was beyond happy that he found a forever friend in Timmy. I was just as glad to see that Timmy was given the redemption that he needed to be free of the pain within this life, that he might forgive himself for letting go of Penny’s hand when the Twig Man was consuming her.

She developed a passion for writing after her father gifted her with the Narnia collection. They would take weekly trips to Waterstones and it became a tradition to scour through the many titles. Her true calling, however, has been writing books that scare and thrill. She grew up reading anything by R.L Stine, Stephen King and Agatha Christie and continues to navigate towards the supernatural/horror genre. The Twig Man is a monster who haunts the woods near to Ari’s home. Ari finds himself next on The Twig Man’s list. Can he find his sister and save himself?

The Twig Man is a spine-tingling middle-grade story, perfect for Halloween. Yes, it's a middle-grade, but I'm a middle-aged mum of two and still found this story creepy, gripping and oozing in atmosphere. These colouring sheets are also going to be something lovely for children to take home with them or put up on display. Great for increasing familiarity with this story and perfect for wet play.
