Story
All of a sudden, the most ordinary things have taken on a sinister edge: a penny on a doormat. An odd man in a brown suit under a streetlamp. The persistent sound of an ax chopping in the middle of the night. He keeps telling himself that this is Seaham, a sleepy seaside town where nothing ever happens. Or at least nothing did, until his dad’s construction company opened up the cliff beneath the old—some say cursed—Langdon place.

It is an ordinary Tuesday morning in April when bored, lonely Charlie Fisher witnesses something incredible. Right before his eyes, in a busy square in Marseille, a group of pickpockets pulls off an amazing robbery. As the young bandits appear to melt into the crowd, Charlie realizes with a start that he himself was one of their marks. Yet Charlie is less alarmed than intrigued. This is the most thrilling thing that's happened to him since he came to France with his father, an American diplomat.

Twelve-year-old Sophie has never quite fit into her life. She’s skipped multiple grades and doesn’t really connect with the older kids at school, but she’s not comfortable with her family, either. The reason? Sophie’s a Telepath, someone who can read minds. No one knows her secret - at least, that’s what she thinks.... But the day Sophie meets Fitz, a mysterious (and adorable) boy, she learns she’s not alone. He’s a Telepath too, and it turns out the reason she has never felt at home is that, well...she isn’t. Fitz opens Sophie’s eyes to a shocking truth....

Story
For nearly a century, Victorian London relied on “climbing boys” - orphans owned by chimney sweeps - to clean flues and protect homes from fire. The work was hard, thankless, and brutally dangerous. Eleven-year-old Nan Sparrow is quite possibly the best climber who ever lived - and a girl. But when Nan gets stuck in a deadly chimney fire, she fears her time has come. Instead, she wakes to find herself in an abandoned attic. And she is not alone. Huddled in the corner is a mysterious creature - a golem - made from ash and coal. This is the creature that saved her from the fire.

Publisher's summary
Ever since Prue McKeel returned home from the Impassable Wilderness after rescuing her brother from the malevolent Dowager Governess, life has been pretty dull. School holds no interest for her, and her new science teacher keeps getting on her case about her dismal test scores and daydreaming in class. Her mind is constantly returning to the verdant groves and sky-tall trees of Wildwood, where her friend Curtis still remains as a bandit-in-training.
But all is not well in that world. Dark assassins with mysterious motives conspire to settle the scores of an unknown client. A titan of industry employs inmates from his orphanage to work in his machine shop, all the while obsessing over the exploitation of the Impassable Wilderness. And in what will be their greatest challenge yet, Prue and Curtis are thrown together again to save themselves and the lives of their friends, and to bring unity to a divided country. But in order to do that, they must go under Wildwood.
In Under Wildwood, Colin Meloy and Carson Ellis reveal new dimensions of the epic fantasy-adventure series begun with the critically acclaimed, best-selling Wildwood.

Story
Ben McKelvie believes he's moving up in the world when he and his fiancée buy a house in the cushy Washington, DC, suburb of Barcroft. Instead he's moving down - way down - thanks to Madeleine Roux, the crazy neighbor whose vermin-infested property is a permanent eyesore and looming hazard to public health. First Ben's fiancée leaves him; then his dog dies, apparently killed by a predator drawn into Barcroft by Madeleine's noxious menagerie. But the worst is yet to come for Ben.

This is a really good book. Great plot, characters, and themes. I struggled a little with book 1, but taking them in order is important. Colin Meloy is a little monotonic but he obviously knows the book. I'm hooked and moving on to book 3.

Good story needs a better reader
the reader for the first book in the series was significantly better which is probably what you get when a professional actress reads instead of the author. the change in narrator was actually so jarring that I had to stop listening to the story for a while and give myself a break between book 1 and 2. my primary complaint with the narrator / author is that he reads the book in such a calm soothing tone like you would read a child to sleep with but it's a difficult to follow what should be faxed action paste scenes. but once I got further into the story probably in 2 chapter 2 or 3 I stop being so furious at the author reading their own book and just went along with the story

Meloy: a Woodian, no doubt.
It had been about three years since I read the first book, and yet, Meloy's storytelling transported me to Wildwood again with seemingly no interruption. While the book seems rather long for a young audience, the narrative is so thorough and thrilling that its hanging conclusion does not leave the reader disappointed, only slightly unsettled -- excited for the final book.
As for the narration, I would purchase anything read by Colin Meloy... well, except maybe Jane Eyre.
For young readers or readers young in spirit.

Great book
I love this series. I enjoyed the first book by audio as well. The reader was a woman that was clearly enjoying the book as well. I was skeptical of hearing the author read it. Especially since we enjoy his music as well. He was fantastic and I can wait to start the next book.

Took 13 hours to tell an 6 hour story
I like long, engaging audio books, but this one was mostly just long without being very engaging. I listened at double speed and still found that I was mentally urged the author to "move the story along." Although I knew this was a 'series,' when I bought it, I regret that instead of 3 satisfying stories that enhance each other, the series is just one long, slow-moving story cut into thirds, with little effort to make each book tell a satisfying story that could be interesting even if it had to stand on its own. If I hadn't already bought the concluding book in the series, I would not even bother listening to it...and I still might not bother.
