Julie, daughter of Rapunzel, is the keeper of the Wild--a sentient tangle of vines that embodies the fairy-tale world. When the Wild takes over Julie's present-day Massachusetts town, she must figure out how to stop it before she becomes a fairy-tale character herself. The confusing premise is never adequately explained, but readers unconcerned with continuity will enjoy the ride.
