It’s been an eventful couple of days: earthquakes! hurricanes! But even Mother Nature can’t put a stop to Book Birthdays! Today is the birthday for WILDWOOD by Colin Meloy (of Decemberists’ fame) and illustrated by his wife, Carson Ellis. We’re so thrilled that it’s out there for everyone to read now!
Check out the reviews:
“Meloy has an immediately recognizable verbal style and creates a fully realized fantasy world…. Ellis’s illustrations perfectly capture the original world and contribute to the feel of an instant timeless classic.” ~ School Library Journal (starred review)
“Fantasy lovers of all ages will be enthralled by fast-moving plot lines, evocative descriptions, and smart, snappy dialogue.” ~ VOYA (5P, 5Q)
“A satisfying blend of fantasy, adventure story, eco-fable and political satire with broad appeal; especially recommended for preteen boys.” ~ Kirkus

Are you as big a Decemberists fan as I am? If so, you probably know that today marks the release of their latest album The King is Dead.
But what you may not know is that Colin Meloy, lead singer of the band, has written a middle-grade novel, WILDWOOD. Here is the exclusive cover reveal, as reported by Entertainment Weekly:
Isn’t the artwork gorgeous? There are more illustrations throughout the book that are stunning – Carson Ellis is fantastic.
The book isn’t coming out until August 2011 so, in the meantime, check out The King is Dead (I love it so far). And keep checking here for more news about WILDWOOD in the months to come!
