Synopsis
A young girl's midnight seance awakens a long-slumbering malevolent spirit . . . A band of runaway orphans allies with an underground collective of saboteurs and plans a daring rescue of their friends, imprisoned in the belly of an industrial wasteland . . . Two old friends draw closer to their goal of bringing together a pair of exiled toy makers in order to reanimate a mechanical boy prince . . . As the fate of Wildwood hangs in the balance. The third book in the Wildwood Chronicles is a rich, moving, and dazzling story, by turns funny and profound. Both Colin Meloy and Carson Ellis are at the height of their gifts with Wildwood Imperium.

Praise for the WILDWOOD trilogy:

'Once I stepped inside I never wanted to leave -- LEMONY SNICKET A richly satisfying weave of reality and fantasy * * New York Times * * A haunting and beautiful adventure. Brilliant -- MATT HAIG Irresistible -- TRENTON LEE STEWART Droll and ornate, elegiac and romantic - the sequel to Wildwood brings readers deeper into and under the pine-scented, magical world . . . The incomparable Ellis more than rises to the challenge - her sly, wistful, abundant illustrations provide an emotional through line * * Kirkus Reviews * * This vivid picaresque fantasy . . . with stylish line drawings and colour plates . . . is an unpretentiously written tale with a strong start, an engaging denouement and a green theme -- Nicolette Jones * * Sunday Times Culture Magazine * * [Wildwood] is like the wild, strange forest it describes. It is full of suspense and danger and frightening things the world has never seen, and once I stepped inside I never wanted to leave -- LEMONY SNICKET, author of A Series of Unfortunate Events A beautiful object and a beautiful read. One half fairy tale, one half coming-of-age story, one half unrepentantly gorgeous work of art, this book is overflowing with gifts -- JONATHAN SAFRAN FOER
