Under Wildwood
In UNDER WILDWOOD, Colin Meloy and Carson Ellis reveal new dimensions of the epic fantasy-adventure series begun with the bestselling WILDWOOD.
Ever since Prue McKeel rescued her brother from the malevolent Dowager Governess and returned home from the Impassable Wilderness, life has been pretty dull. Prue's mind is constantly returning to the verdant groves and sky-tall trees of Wildwood, where her friend Curtis remains as a bandit-in-training.
But all is not well in that world. A hard winter has come and discord reigns. Dark assassins with mysterious motives conspire to settle the scores of an unknown client. A titan of industry employs inmates from his orphanage to work in his machine shop, all the while obsessing over the exploitation of the Impassable Wilderness. Under a growing threat, Prue is drawn back into Wildwood, where she and Curtis will face their greatest challenge yet: to save themselves and the lives of their friends, and to bring unity to a divided country. In order to do that, they must go under Wildwood.

My hope for all children is to have the best possible experience as a child. Hopefully, this book will empower children to overcome obstacles in their formative years. Also, may it serve to everyone how gratifying it is to help others gain self-assurance in a world full of challenges. One book may not solve all the problems of our youngest generation, but if it helps one boy or girl enjoy their right to a good childhood, it is worth all the efforts of all involved.

When The Night Is Dark
Have you ever been afraid of the dark? Have you ever thought you saw or heard something, but it really wasn’t what you had imagined? The boy in this book thinks he sees and hears scary things in the night but realizes those things are just ordinary objects and there is nothing to fear. We all have our own fears. Maybe our fears are not as bad as we think they are. Maybe we are imagining the worst and actually are scaring ourselves!
