WIldwood Emperium, book 3, did not dissapoint either.Īll in all, Wildwood (and all its sequels) is a joy to read, it includes beautiful images, and has a striking and unique story line. Under Wildwood is a little bit different from book 1, but certainly not in a bad way. Determined to save him, Prue ventures into the IW, Impassable Wilderness, to save him, where her classmate Curtis tags along.

WILDWOOD is an exciting, charming, and clever tale that finds a unique kind of magic in the forest of the Pacific Northwest. Some words may be hard for younger kids to comprehend, but if you can at least guess what they mean, then all those tricky words are super fun to enjoy. There is some violence and gore, so I don't recommend this for young and sensitive readers.Īdditionally, Colin Meloy's writing style is breath-taking, includes unique vocabulary words that kids won't find in many other places, and spares no detail. Prue and Curtis are soon thrust into an amazing adventure full of surprising and terrifying things like coyote soldiers, bandits, a vengeful governess, and bloodthirsty ivy.
