That's all that's on his mind, nothing else matters to him. The owner of this orphanage is obsessed with the Impassable Wilderness and he dreams to make it in and exploit it for his own gain. The side story in this one is all about an orphanage that uses the children as labour in a machine parts shop. She teams up with her friend Curtis again to start on a journey to bring unity back to the wood.
She finds herself being hunted by assassins sent by an unknown enemy and heads back into the wood to figure things out.
This book has Prue McKeel heading back into the Impassable Wilderness. I've already read and reviewed the first book here if you'd like to know a little more about it. The bestselling trilogy from Colin Meloy and Carson Ellis consists of Wildwood, Under Wildwood, and Wildwood Imperium.This is the second book in the Wildwood trilogy. And what begins as a rescue mission becomes something much greater as the two friends find themselves entwined in a struggle for the very freedom of this wilderness. In Wildwood, Prue and her friend Curtis uncover a secret world in the midst of violent upheaval-a world full of warring creatures, peaceable mystics, and powerful figures with the darkest intentions.
The story is told from multiple points of view, and the book features more than eighty illustrations, including six full-color plates, making this an absolutely gorgeous object. It feels at once firmly steeped in the classics of children's literature and completely fresh. Wildwood captivates readers with the wonder and thrill of a secret world within the landscape of a modern city.
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.
