Something wicked's in those woods

I like the book because of the adventures they take in woods.When they find the wicked thing in the woods.Also the part when they get lost in the woods when hiking after the wicked thing the saw in the woods.I love to read an adventure book over the weekend.The best part was when they get lost in the woods with the wicked thing.Ireally didn't understand the wicked thing that was in there.The worst part is you stoped at a good part when they get ready to reveal the wiked thing.I think you should of end the book with the revealence.The two element that vivided me were the setting an the resolution.The setting were there a the boys house an the chose to go into the woods.And when they get into the woods and get lost.The resolution I think is always bring something to mark the way out.I really enjoyed reading this book.
