Wildwood
by Colin Meloy
illustrated by Carson Ellis
A quiet afternoon in the park turns into a nightmare for Prue McKeel when a group of crows swoop down and snatches her baby brother! Soon they disappear into a part of her city known as the Impassable Wilderness, an overgrown wooded area that no one ever goes into. Despite many disturbing rumors surrounding the Impassable Wilderness, Prue knows she must try to rescue her brother and enters the mysterious area with her friend Curt. There they discover a secret, dangerous world filled with bandits, talking animals, and a powerful magical woman with a plot to destroy everything.
This first book in the Wildwood Chronicles series is full of magic and exciting twists. I loved reading about the mysterious hidden world of Wildwood with its variety of animal and human characters. Meloy describe Wildwood and its inhabitants in a way that they can be easily pictured by the reader. This is a good choice for readers looking for a book that combines adventure and fantasy.
