A review by libraryjen
Wildwood by Colin Meloy

adventurous challenging slow-paced

3.0

This was a solid 3 star read for me: I finished it and found parts of it compelling and parts of it dragged. The world building was fun and the plot just intricate enough for the target audience: 8 - 12 year olds. But the book was too long for the actual story we got and several parts felt pretty convoluted. If you love animals and adventure (no whimsy here, despite what the blurb might say!), and really long books, this might be the book for you.
