biancachacamp 's review for:
Wildwood
by Colin Meloy
Overall, this was a cute story. I liked the incorporation of real Portland culture and landmarks and natural description. However it was so descriptive that I felt very bored and disconnected to the plot. Most of the story seemed to be describing or setting the scene rather than moving the plot along. for middle readers, I can imagine it would be tough to get through.
SPOILERS:
I also feel like Prue and Curtis' connection to Wildwood went unexplained. Though we may find out what's happened in the next book, I wasn't satisfied that Curtis and Prue didn't have much curiosity about this. Also it's super messed up how Curtis just abandons his family (no explanation there) and I don't know why Prue would go back to her awful parents. If anything Prue should have stayed in Wildwood and raised Mac herself and Curtis should have gone home.
