Ever since Prue McKeel returned home from the Impassable Wilderness after rescuing her brother from the malevolent Dowager Governess, life has been pretty dull. School holds no interest for her, and her new science teacher keeps getting on her case about her dismal test scores and daydreaming in class. Her mind is constantly returning to the verdant groves and sky-tall trees of Wildwood, where her friend Curtis still remains as a bandit-in-training.
But all is not well in that world. 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. And, in what will be their greatest challenge yet, Prue and Curtis are thrown together again to save themselves and the lives of their friends, and to bring unity to a divided country. But in order to do that, they must go under Wildwood.
Colin Meloy and Carson Ellis are going to be at our Historic Lodo Store at 7:00 PM on Friday, September 28, 2012.
Author Colin Meloy, singer and songwriter for the band The Decemberists, and acclaimed illustrator Carson Ellis, will read from and sign their new book Under Wildwood: The Wildwood Chronicles, Book II, the eagerly anticipated sequel to Wildwood.
***Free numbered tickets for a place in the booksigning line will be handed out at 6:00 pm. Seating for the presentation prior to the booksigning is limited, and available on a first-come, first-served basis to ticketed customers only. Colin will be happy to sign one piece of Decemberist’s memorabilia per person with the the purchase of a Wildwood book.***
