From Colin Meloy, lead singer of the Decemberists, and Carson Ellis, acclaimed illustrator of The Mysterious Benedict Society, comes the stunning third book in the New York Times bestselling fantasy-adventure series the Wildwood Chronicles.

A young girl's midnight séance 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 Wildwood Chronicles is a mesmerizing and epic tale, at once firmly steeped in the classics of children's literature and completely fresh at the same time. In this book, Colin Meloy continues to expand and enrich the magical world and cast of characters he created in Wildwood, while Carson Ellis once again brings that world to life with her gorgeous artwork, including six full-color plates.

The real world of human interaction isn't the black-and-white, good versus evil, stuff of traditional fantasy and fairy tales. We're all at times selfish, impulsive, overly-ambitious individuals. Communally, we can find ourselves prone to xenophobia, protectionism, and exclusivity. Meloy and Ellis have created a world in Wildwood that reflects these complexities. Throughout the trilogy, characters routinely make self-interested decisions and power grabs. Still, none of them is beyond redemption, and many of the characters do exhibit learning and find redemption. There is no real villain in Wildwood, save for the selfishness and short-sightedness that can tempt us all at any time.

This is a refreshing departure from so many mythologies, which conveniently draw a line in the sand. Characters choose a side, good or evil, and remain on that side throughout the story. The only drama comes when a token character or two makes a dramatic switch to "the other side" at some point. In Wildwood, characters trample that line, as their concerns for self-interest, family, community, security, and nationalism compete against one another for primacy throughout the trilogy. Most characters in Wildwood "mean well," yet still misstep at some point along the way. Some become quite entrenched in evil actions, though driven by very real (and valid) human emotions and concerns.

I think fantasy worlds like Wildwood are increasingly important in our modern, global world. We are often told that people from [INSERT COUNTRY NAME HERE] are [INSERT DISPARAGING TERM HERE], and are therefore not to be trusted. True, some folks in this world do fit the "villain" profile a lot better than others, and we must fight and defend ourselves against them. Wildwood represents this well.
