Under Wildwood

   Prue and her brother Mac return to their home in Portland, Oregon, after their exciting adventure in the Impassable Wilderness. But as Prue settles back into a routine she finds that her mind remains with her friend Curtis, who stayed in the Wood to train as a bandit. 
   Little does Prue know that she and Curtis will be reunited soon. With the help of her new and odd science teacher, Prue finds herself once again the magical and dangerous I.W., fighting new enemies alongside Curtis.  But this time they must explore a part of the Wood that they never knew existed--for in order to go above, they must first go under.


      While reading a series, I rarely find that the second book is better than the first, but Under Wildwood was, in my opinion, better than Wildwood (which I also really liked). I love how all the different stories, although different, were connected, and as the book progressed they become even more so. The style of writing is clever, descriptive, and interesting. My only complaint would be the cliffhanger ending, which is probably one of the (unfortunately) most effective cliffhangers I've ever read.
