6/20/2023 0 Comments Wildwood chronicles books![]() One fateful day, Prue’s baby brother is abducted by a murder of crows who carry him off into the forbidden Wildwood, an uncharted forest outside of the Portland, Oregon city limits. Plot-wise, the Wildwood trilogy focuses on two young protagonists, Prue and Curtis, who are classmates and semi-friends. The three novels that make up the Wildwood trilogy, which was penned by Colin Meloy (featuring illustrations by Carson Ellis), are Wildwood, Under Wildwood, and Wildwood Imperium. But I’m glad I made the effort because this hefty trilogy, while not perfect, is still worth diving into. That led me to discover this modern-day middle grade fantasy/magical realism trilogy, Wildwood, which I had to read through twice to fully appreciate. I enjoyed his writing style as well as Carson Ellis’ illustrations, so I hunted down more of their work. The first book by Colin Meloy I perused was The Whiz Mob and the Grenadine Kid, a historical fiction middle grade novel set in 1960s France. ![]()
