Are you ready to enter the Never Woods?

Well, ready or not, we're all about to find ourselves deep in the atmospheric and magical world of Aiden Thomas's sophomore novel with the cover reveal for Lost in the Never Woods. We could, of course, gush about how much we love this lush and mysterious cover, but why should we when we could have Aiden do it for us?

It's like the design team for Lost in the Never Woods looked into my brain, saw all my favorite things, and turned it into a cover! It's even more beautiful than I could've imagined! Purple, pink and blue are my all-time favorite colors, and I love the illustrated, fantastical vibes of ALL of Loika's work! This cover is the perfect mix of haunting and beautiful, with Wendy walking into the encroaching darkness of the woods. But, by far, my FAVORITE element of this cover is the subtle silhouettes in the trees (did you even notice until I pointed them out??). Overall, this is the perfect cover for this story and I'm so thankful to Loika and the design team for dreaming it up!

And now that you've heard from Aiden, it's time to reveal this incredible cover!

Lost in the Never Woods by Aiden Thomas

When children start to go missing in the local woods, a teen girl must face her fears and a past she can't remember to rescue them in this atmospheric YA novel, Lost in the Never Woods from the author of Cemetery Boys.

It’s been five years since Wendy and her two brothers went missing in the woods, but when the town’s children start to disappear, the questions surrounding her brothers’ mysterious circumstances are brought back into the light. Attempting to flee her past, Wendy almost runs over an unconscious boy lying in the middle of the road . . .

Peter, a boy she thought lived only in her stories, asks for Wendy’s help to rescue the missing kids. But, in order to find them, Wendy must confront what’s waiting for her in the woods.
