For fans of the Chronicles of Narnia comes the first book in the Wildwood Chronicles, the New York Times bestselling fantasy adventure series by Colin Meloy, lead singer of the Decemberists.

Wildwood captivates readers with the wonder and thrill of a secret world within the landscape of a modern city. It feels at once firmly steeped in the classics of children's literature and completely fresh.

In Wildwood, Prue and her friend Curtis 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.

The bestselling trilogy from Colin Meloy consists of Wildwood, Under Wildwood, and Wildwood Imperium.

Would you recommend this audiobook to a friend? If so, why?

I would definitely recommend this.

What was one of the most memorable moments of Wildwood?

The humor, imagination, and complexity of the story

Which character – as performed by Amanda Plummer – was your favorite?

I disagree with the other reviewers who found fault with her performance. I felt her narration and character voices were varied and nuanced. I'm disappointed she wasn't the reader for Under Wildwood.

Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting?

Yes!

Loved it and loved Amanda Plummer's performance!

Good story but often distracted by the narrator. Often read statements as questions and had a strange baby-like voice for dramatic or action parts of the story

Poor narrator

The whispering of the narrator ruins the story. Same with the yelling of the protagonist, who somehow seems to yell. Read the book, don't listen to it.

Narrator doesn't do story justice

this is such a good book, I have no idea how the narrator got selected but they need to do a do over with someone new. The current narrator makes every character sound like they are suffering from some a brain injury with the weird and nonsensical way she adds inflections to the wrong parts of sentences.

the narrator ruins everything

To be honest we only got 5 minutes into this book and had to shut it off. My kids said they just couldn’t even get an idea of who was talking. The narrator does this book no justice. We literally just finished The Whiz Mob and Grenadine kid and that narration puts every other narration to shame. Can’t you get Bronson Pinchot to do this book? He’s amazing.
I’m just going to have to buy this one - but what a shame....

The narration is such a let down
