ALA Best Book for Teens recipient Chris Wooding delivers "a twisted fairytale fantasy" (Wooding) sprinkled with marvelous characters and seasoned with incredible plot twists. In the rotting stilt-village of Gull just above the foul-smelling Black Swamp, 16-year-old Poison vows to rescue her kidnapped sister from the phaeries. A wise friend reluctantly provides the money, directions, and ancient lore necessary for her journey. Poison soon encounters the treacherous phaerie lord, the terrifying bone witch, and the deceptive spider queen. But when her reality is completely upended, Poison questions whether she can save anyone.

The narration was done by Virginia Leishman. Leishman’s narration is by far some of my favorite because she enjoys what she reads, and it shows in the way she narrates.
Poison itself is a clever piece of meta fiction. I like how the plot is set up for the reader to go back to the beginning and catch little details that make sense after the first read through. This novel makes the reader think and masks itself underneath the guise of a fairy tale. From one story comes a story within stories within another story! My only gripe is that Poison is a standalone book. I would have liked to follow more of Poison and her friends in a trilogy or a series. Poison is a highly underrated novel that deserves to be seen with new eyes. I would argue that most of Chris Wooding’s YA selection such as The Haunting of Alaizabel Cray and Silver, need to be given a fresh new cover and reintroduced onto Barnes N’ Noble bookshelves because I think contemporary teens would enjoy Wooding’s unique writing style.
