A spellbinding tale full of wonder, danger, and magic, the thrill of a secret world and modern city life. From the imagination of Colin Meloy comes Wildwood. Prue McKeel's has an ordinary life. But things soon start getting crazy.

Prue McKeel's life is ordinary. That is, until her brother is abducted by a murder of crows and taken to the Impassable Wilderness, a dense, tangled forest on the edge of Portland. So begins an adventure that will take Prue and her friend Curtis deep into the Impassable Wilderness. 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. A wilderness the locals call Wildwood.

Colin Meloy

Colin Meloy once wrote Ray Bradbury a letter, informing him that he "considered himself an author too." He was ten. Since then, Colin has gone on to be the singer and songwriter for the band the Decemberists, where he channels all of his weird ideas into weird songs.

With the Wildwood Chronicles, he is now channeling those ideas into novels. Colin and Carson live with their sons, Hank and Milo, in Oregon.
