Hi! I’m back. I’ve been busy with schoolwork and Best Friends Essential (we now have a website!), so I haven’t had as much time to post on my blog. I’m going to be talking about Wildwood today, a great book by Colin Meloy and illustrated by Carson Ellis. It’s nice and long, with an interesting plot with twists and turns.
Prue is worried. Her baby brother, Mac, was just carried off by crows while she was watching him. Even worse, the crows carried him into the Impassable Wilderness (the I.W.). No one knows what’s in there. And no one who’s gone in has come back out. Prue decides to go in anyway. She just has to find her little brother. Her classmate, Curtis, also goes into the I.W. to help Prue. Once they get in, they see things that can’t be real. In the Woods, animals can talk. Not only talk – in the Woods, animals are equal to humans. When coyote soldiers capture Curtis, Prue must go through a series of adventures to find Mac and get back her friend.
I hope that you decide to read Wildwood based on the description above. Like I said, it’s a great book, and there are more too! The Wildwood Chronicles has three books. I’ve read two so far, and liked both immensely. I’m looking forward to reading the third.
