Under Wildwood is the second book in the New York Times bestselling adventure series the Wildwood Chronicles from Colin Meloy, lead singer of the Decemberists, and Carson Ellis, the acclaimed illustrator of The Mysterious Benedict Society.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 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.In Under Wildwood, Colin Meloy and Carson Ellis reveal new dimensions of the epic fantasy-adventure series begun with the critically acclaimed, bestselling Wildwood.

faltou um pouco de brilho;

gostei MUITO do primeiro livro da trilogia (foi um dos pouquíssimos leituras favoritadas ano passado) e estava ansiosa para o segundo, mas achei que esse não teve todo o brilho que o primeiro teve comigo. ainda acho que o autor faz de maneira genial um livro infantojuvenil conversar com todos os públicos, a maneira como ele tratou retratou a exploração de crianças em fábricas também foi incrível, mas achei que o livro se arrastou e não gostei dos plots da prue e do curtis, ficou meio jogado ali.
