Very few people ever enter the Shadow Woods, for these woods are like no others. Hidden deep within them is the Gateway to the Shadow Realm – a dark and chaotic world where all kinds of gruesome creatures live…

On her tenth birthday, tomboy Sophie learns she is the Guardian of the magical gateway, and that her destiny is to protect the human world from the goblins, trolls and evil sprites that inhabit the Shadow Woods.

Probably more of a 3.5 but I thought I'd round up.

It was a goodish ending as it wrapped up the current story nicely but then it went and left a cliff hanger, I'm guessing that the intention was to write a new series but as this was finished over ten years ago I'm guessing that never happened (if it did I've not been able to find a series that links to this one so let me know)

This wasn't the best book in the series but it is still an enjoyable read and I'm sure kids would love it.

All in all a good series for a child that likes a bit of fantasy and/or action.

I read these when I was 6/7 and they were amazing. Sophie is the reason I started taekwondo. I was recommending this to a kid and decided to take a look at the Goodreads. It brought back so many memories, including the CLIFFHANGER ending that haunted me. So yeah, if you have a kid or want to read a childrens book, I recommend this series. It has a strong heroin, and a great story line. The perfect fantasy for young readers.
