4-6Wildwood Chronicles series.
Illustrated by
Carson Ellis.
Reunited, Prue and bandit-in-training Curtis set out to restore Wildwood's true heir. Meanwhile, an avaricious entrepreneur forces a group of "Unadoptable" children to breach Wildwood's magical boundary. Wry humor, suspense, and distinctive fantasy elements make this lengthy novel a quick read. Ellis's detailed illustrations (both black-and-white spot art and color full-page tableaux) capture the human and animal characters in all their quirky glory.
