Under Wildwood by Colin Meloy, 560 pagesThe second book of Meloy's Oregon-set, foresty hipster fantasy trilogy finds cyclist Prue traveling back into the Impassable Wilderness to help restore the natural order to the land, once again with the help of now-bandit Curtis. But this time, they're fighting off kitsune assassins and racing against nefarious industrial titans who scoff at child labor laws and have Curtis's sisters hard at work. It's the second book in a trilogy and as such has that weird nothing's starting, nothing's finished feel about it, though my daughter and I certainly enjoyed it. Our favorite part was when Prue and Curtis encountered a community of blind shouting moles and their elaborate Fortress of Fanggg, which made us giggle every time I read it aloud. On to Book 3!
