Now a major motion picture from LAIKA, the studio behind Coraline.
The first book in the New York Times best-selling fantasy series full of magic, wonder, and danger from Colin Meloy, lead singer of the highly celebrated band the Decemberists, and Carson Ellis, the award-winning illustrator of Du Is Tak and Home.
Prue McKeel's life is ordinary. She lives in Portland, Oregon, where it rains a lot. She has a mother and a father and a baby brother. Ordinary. At least until her brother is abducted by a flock of crows. And then things get really weird.
You see, on every map of Portland there is a big splotch of green in the center of the city labeled "I.W." This stands for "Impassable Wilderness." No one's ever gone in -- or at least returned to tell of it.
And this is where the crows take her brother.
So begins an adventure that will take Prue and her friend Curtis deep into the Impassable Wilderness. There they 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. And what begins as a rescue mission becomes something much bigger as the two friends find themselves entwined in a struggle for the very freedom of this wilderness.
A wilderness the locals call Wildwood.
Wildwood is a spellbinding tale full of wonder, danger, and magic that juxtaposes the thrill of a secret world and modern city life. Original and fresh yet steeped in classic fantasy, this is a novel that could have only come from the imagination of Colin Meloy, celebrated for his inventive and fantastic storytelling as the lead singer of the Decemberists. With dozens of intricate and beautiful illustrations by award-winning artist Carson Ellis, Wildwood is truly a classic for the twenty-first century.
But this hidden forest is on the brink of war, and Prue's rescue mission is only the beginning. What dangers lie waiting in the woods?
- Portal Fantasy Adventure: Step from the familiar streets of Portland, Oregon, into the Impassable Wilderness, a magical world hidden in plain sight, teeming with wonder and danger.
- An Unforgettable Quest: Join Prue as she races to save her baby brother, Mac, after he's snatched from his wagon by a murder of crows and carried into the forbidden woods.
- Warring Animal Factions: Navigate a brewing civil war between armies of uniformed coyote soldiers, peaceable mystics, and powerful figures with dark intentions for Wildwood.
- Beautifully Illustrated: Immerse yourself in the story with over eighty detailed illustrations by acclaimed artist Carson Ellis, including six full-color plates.
