From Colin Meloy, lead singer of The Decemberists, and Carson Ellis, acclaimed illustrator of The Mysterious Benedict Society, comes Wildwood Imperium (Balzer & Bray/HarperTeen), the stunning third book in their bestselling fantasy-adventure series, the Wildwood Chronicles. A young girl's midnight séance awakens a long-slumbering malevolent spirit... A band of runaway orphans ally with an underground collective of saboteurs and plan a daring rescue of their friends, imprisoned in the belly of an industrial wasteland... Two old friends draw closer to their goal of bringing together a pair of exiled toy makers in order to reanimate a mechanical boy prince... As the fate of Wildwood hangs in the balance. Wildwood Imperium is a rich, moving, and dazzling story, by turns funny and profound — steeped in the classics of children's literature while remaining stunningly original.
