A Hidden World of Magic Awaits in the Impassable Wilderness
For fans of The Chronicles of Narnia comes the first book in the Wildwood Chronicles, the New York Times bestselling fantasy adventure series by Colin Meloy, lead singer of the Decemberists, and Carson Ellis, acclaimed illustrator of The Mysterious Benedict Society. Prue McKeel's ordinary life changes forever when her baby brother Mac is abducted by a murder of crows and carried into the mysterious Impassable Wilderness that borders her hometown of Portland, Oregon. With no choice but to follow, Prue discovers that the forbidden forest is not only passable but home to a hidden world full of warring creatures, peaceable mystics, and powerful figures with the darkest intentions.
As Prue ventures deeper into the forest alongside her reluctant classmate Curtis, the two seventh-graders become entangled in a dangerous landscape where magic exists and far more is at stake than rescuing one baby. Together they navigate battles between competing factions, encounter talking animals and mystics, and uncover secrets that will determine the fate of Wildwood itself. Wildwood is a spellbinding tale full of wonder, danger, and magic that juxtaposes the thrill of a secret world and modern city life, presenting a truly original yet classic fantasy adventure.
