How I Found: In the lovely bookstore Auntie’s in downtown Spokane while waiting for my daughter to choose a new book, I was intrigued by the texture of this book in the adolescent section. Upon further inspection I discovered that twelve-year-old Prue’s adventure takes place in and around Portland, Oregon. Prue finds herself in the Wildwood in the heart of the city around the Pittock Mansion, but it’s not what she or you might expect. Why You Might Read: If it’s been awhile since you’ve been whisked away with talking animals, it’s time to get back to your roots. In the Wildwood you might just as easily be captured by coyotes as bandits, but fear most the dowager governess or you may be sacrificed for her dark revenge. Regardless, rediscover with child-like awe, “We are the inheritors of a wonderful world, a beautiful world, full of life and mystery, goodness and pain. But likewise are we children of an indifferent universe. We break our own hearts imposing our moral order on what is, by nature, a wide web of chaos.” And, instead of fighting against it, let it come and enjoy the journey. Tell Me: Have you read this book? What did you think?
