I wondered why some things came back to me right away (like the startling opening where the protagonist tries to chase down a bunch of crows that have just literally grabbed her baby brother and flown off), but others (most of the secondary characters, for example) weren’t familiar. But I had very little recollection of what happened, so I kept going. And, yes, someone expects middle-schoolers to be reading this.) Anyway, I hauled the stack home, and dove in.Ī few pages in, I realized I’d read the first book before. (Each one has a total of more than 500 pages. The covers alone drew me in, and overrode my slight misgivings about the length of the books. Last week, I decided to check out from the library a juvenile series called “The Wildwood Chronicles” that I’ve seen multiple times while carrying out my shelving duties. The caption for each of their videos begins “Everything wrong with…” and insert the title of the movie. For anyone who has no idea what I’m referencing, CinemaSins is a small group of independent movie critics who provide a snarky, often humorous spin on our favorite films, or the films we love to hate. I’ve been watching a lot of CinemaSins on YouTube lately (warning: that channel is for mature audiences only), hence the title of this post.
