This month, McNally Jackson’s Young Readers Book Group will read Wildwood, the first in Colin Meloy’s and Carson Ellis’s Wildwood Chronicles trilogy.
Wildwood is a spellbinding tale full of wonder, danger, and magic that juxtaposes the thrill of a secret world and modern city life. Original and fresh yet steeped in classic fantasy, this is a novel that could have only come from the imagination of Colin Meloy, celebrated for his inventive and fantastic storytelling as the lead singer of the Decemberists. With dozens of intricate and beautiful illustrations by award-winning artist Carson Ellis, Wildwood is truly a new classic for the twenty-first century.

Led by McNally Jackson bookseller, children’s buyer, and resident storyteller Sarah Gerard, the Young Readers Book Group meets on the last Sunday of every month at 1:30 for lively discussion surrounding great classic and contemporary chapter books appropriate for ages 8 - 14. Parents and food are welcome but not required.
