Zu dę daś? - pyta ważka patrząc na wystające z ziemi zielone listki. Me bim - odpowiada jej druga. Co to jest? Jakiś żart, językowa pomyłka, a może szyfr do odczytania? Carson Ellis zabiera nas na łąkę, gdzie obserwujemy zmagania jej mieszkańców z naturą jak przez powiększające szkło. Subtelne, szczegółowe ilustracje przenoszą nas do zagadkowego owadziego mikrokosmosu i dzięki nim rozumiemy sens wypowiedzianych tam słów. Książka jest przetłumaczona na kilkanaście owadzich języków świata, a dzięki talentowi Michała Rusinka jej akcja toczy się także na polskiej łące! Suuuu!

There's dreadful news from the symphony hall—the composer is dead! If you have ever heard an orchestra play, then you know that musicians are most certainly guilty of something. Where exactly were the violins on the night in question? Did anyone see the harp? Is the trumpet protesting a bit too boisterously? In this perplexing murder mystery, everyone seems to have a motive, everyone has an alibi, and nearly everyone is a musical instrument. But the composer is still dead. Perhaps you can solve the crime yourself. Join the Inspector as he interrogates all the unusual suspects. Then listen to the accompanying audio recording featuring Lemony Snicket and the music of Nathaniel Stookey performed by the San Francisco Symphony. Hear for yourself exactly what took place on that fateful, well-orchestrated evening.

Trzecia część niezwykłej serii fantasy dla młodych czytelników. Uroczysko to wspaniała uczta dla wszystkich, którzy chcą wierzyć, że gdzieś tam istnieje inna, magiczna rzeczywistość. Colin Meloy, mistrzowsko posługując się schematem znanym z Opowieści z Narnii, pozwala przemieszczać się swoim bohaterom między światem zwykłym a fantastycznym.

Prue McKeel is keeping out of trouble. Or trying to. Then her baby brother is abducted by crows and hauled off to the woods beyond the city. It is up to Prue to bring him back. On her mission she is plunged into the world of Wildwood and there she meets more trouble - and magic - than she ever thought possible.

Half a window, half a door. Half a rug on half a floor. The light of the half moon shines down on the half room.

Under Wildwood is the second book in the New York Times bestselling adventure series the Wildwood Chronicles from Colin Meloy, lead singer of the Decemberists, and Carson Ellis, the acclaimed illustrator of The Mysterious Benedict Society. 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 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, bestselling Wildwood.
