The creatures of legend are realâand itâs up to twins Zac and Lu to save them in this fun-filled middle grade adventure perfect for fans of Fablehaven and The Hotel Between.
Twins Zac and Lu grew up on their motherâs stories of the Wildewoods, an imaginary land where mythical beasts roam free. These creatures fill the pages of Zacâs sketchbooks and inspire Luâs love of animals, and on most days, theyâre the only thing the twins have in common.
When their mother dies, a heartbroken Lu and Zac are shipped off to England to spend the summer with relatives theyâve never met. But it doesnât take the twins long to uncover the incredible secret tucked away in the forest behind their ancestral home: their motherâs wonderful tales about unicorns and dragons and centaurs werenât make-believe after all. Their family serves as keepers of the Wildewoods, the last place on earth where these mythical creatures can live safe from human harm.
But there are also many dangers in these landsâas well as a terrible curse. When Zac and Lu fall victim to it, their only hope is finding the very last living phoenix left in the world. But will breaking the curse mean the end of the Wildewoods?
