The third and final installment in the Wildwood Chronicles trilogy

A suspenseful and atmospheric horror perfect for younger fans of Stranger Things and Neil Gaiman, from New York Times bestselling author and the Decemberists‿ lead singer/songwriter Colin Meloy. Maybe Archie Coomes has been watching too many horror movies. All of a sudden, the most ordinary things have taken on a sinister edge: a penny on a doormat. A man in a brown suit under a streetlamp. The persistent sound of an axe 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. Soon, though, he and his friends can‿t deny it: more and more of the adults in town are acting strangely. An ancient, long-buried evil has been unleashed upon the community, and it‿s up to the kids to stop it before it‿s too late . . .

A SECRET SOCIETY.A MYTHICAL SCHOOL.A DANGEROUS GAME.It is an ordinary Tuesday morning when bored, lonely Charlie Fisher witnesses something incredible. In a busy square in Marseille, a group of pickpockets pulls off an amazing robbery. As the young bandits melt into the crowd, Charlie realizes 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 moved to France. So instead of reporting the thieves, Charlie defends one of their cannons, Amir, to the police, under one condition: he teach Charlie the tricks of the trade. What starts off as a lesson on pinches, kicks, and chumps soon turns into an invitation for Charlie to join the secret world of the whiz mob, an international band of young pickpockets who trained at the mysterious School of Seven Bells. But what at first seems like a (relatively) harmless new pastime draws him into a risky adventure with global stakes greater than he could have ever imagined.
