Gretchen hears voices on the wind. Is it just the enchanted Trees having midnight conversations, or could it be someone she loves lost deep in the forest? She knows she can't go into the woods alone, but the voices sound so familiar. And so afraid.  
 

    Once, in a clearing in the middle of an enchanted forest, there lived a little girl named Gretchen. She lived in the magical forest with her Nana and Papa because her parents had gotten lost in the deep forest many years earlier, and no one had seen them since.
    Sometimes, Gretchen thought she heard her parents’ voices on the night wind, but Nana said she was only hearing the enchanted Trees whispering to one another in the darkness. Papa refused to tell the little girl that she wasn’t hearing her parents, however. He told her, instead, to be still and listen carefully to the voices.
    “When you hear them,” he asked, “what do they say?”
