Prue McKeel's life is ordinary. At least until her baby brother is abducted by a murder of crows and taken to the Impassable Wilderness, a dense, tangled forest on the edge of Portland. No one's ever gone in, or at least returned to tell of it. So begins an adventure that will take Prue and her friend, Curtis, deep into the Impassable Wilderness. There they uncover a secret world in the midst of violent upheaval, a world full of warring creatures, peaceable mystics, and powerful figures with the darkest intentions. And what begins as a rescue mission becomes something much greater, as the two friends find themselves entwined in a struggle for the very freedom of this wilderness. A wilderness the locals call Wildwood.

I tried to read the beautifully illustrated book and even the audiobook but could not finish this book. The story is convoluted and strangely comfortable with military violence for a middle grade fantasy book. I really wanted to get lost in an adventure story in the vibe of Narnia but this was not it. I'm going back into my wardrobe and not coming out.
