Wildwood, written by The Decemberists frontman Colin Meloy (and illustrated by his wife, Carson Ellis), reads like a dream combination of a Wes Anderson film and a C.S. Lewis novel (read: The Lion, the Witch, and the Wardrobe). Prue's baby brother Mac is stolen away by a murder of crows, and she must rescue him from the depths of Wildwood.
Talking animals, high stakes adventures, beardy bandits fighting a band of foxes, magical spells, a little girl off to save the day: a recipe for success that absolutely tickled me. While the themes here feel possibly too adult at times, I highly recommend this one, especially if you can find an edition with the full color plates.
