I hadn't intended to marathon the books in this series but fortuitously I was able to get my hands on them only weeks apart. Therefore, I decided to lump them all together in one masterpost. You're welcome! Rather than showing the covers for the books, I've opted to give you a glimpse of the illustr...
Mythic to a large degree this is an interesting read. Prue goes after her brother who has been kidnapped by crows into the Wildwood where no-one goes in Portland, but she finds that she can go, and her friend Curtis comes with her, they both find that everything is not as they assumed and that thin...
This chapter book for children features feisty, intelligent Prue. She is searching for her baby brother who has been kidnapped by crows. Curse those evil crows! A friend of hers, Curtis, invites himself along and together they enter the supposedly impassable wilderness of Wildwood where they meet ...
I have been reading this book on and off. For some reason, while the story is good, the book couldn't keep my attention for more than a few pages at a time.Also I really disliked the Curtis parts. I loved to read about Prue's journey, but Curtis... no thank you.Overall this was a good book, the stor...
Before anyone chalks this rating up to me being prejudiced against kids' books, I would like to preface this by saying I started this book with a really open mind. And apparently I'm not the only one who found this book tedious. The action was slow, the characters bordered on outright cliche and s...
When I first started reading this book, I tried really hard not to compare it to Jim Henson's Labyrinth. Girl doesn't pay attention to her baby brother, he gets kidnapped, and she has to go into a dangerous, magical world to save him. But I figured I'd give it a chance....and then the talking coyote...
“So what do I do now?” asked Prue. ”My brother was kidnapped by birds. My friend was captured by coyotes… And I nearly forgot: My bike is broken. Sounds like a country song. If country songs were really, really weird.”After Prue’s baby brother is kidnapped by a murder of crows, she and her frien...
Slow in places, but worth the draggy parts. While it's a contemporary story, there's something nostalgic about the world Meloy's created. I guess talking animals have a long history in jf-ya history, and I'm glad to see a contemporary author giving that a try. I really enjoyed the illustrations, as ...
Five stars for the excellent illustrations by Carson Ellis and two stars for the writing. I was so frustrated with this book because the idea is so fantastic what with talking animals and wild forest adventures, but in the end it was pages and pages of battles and struggles and not very much fun fan...
2.5 stars'We are the inheritors of a wonderful world, a beautiful world, full of life and mystery, goodness and pain. But likewise are we the children of an indifferent universe. We break our own hearts imposing our moral order on what is, by nature, a wide web of chaos.'Sometimes I wish I didn't gi...
