Reading this enhanced Middlegame, but reading Middlegame didn’t enhance this.
This is just a very confusing children’s book, like the Wizard of Oz and Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland.

Mira Grant writes great horror stories. Seanan McGuire writes excellent fantasy. A. Deborah Baker writes excellent YA fantasy.
Not all YA stories work for older readers. This does.

I adore this book for all it is! The writing style, the memorable characters, the quirkiness and above all the positive message to children. It's okay to be scared, to be brave, to still have a lot to learn, to be who you are.

This book is improbable in all the right ways. As always Seanan writes with a distinct voice and a certain amount of chaos. We go over the wall and down the path with these children and fear for their lives as they face a combination of friends and foes and owls. It does seem like there is no hope of return for these adventurers but at the end a bit of hope manages to wind its way through the woods. It definitely feels like a combination of the Wizard of Oz and Alice in wonderland with a dash of her Wayward Children series thrown in.

This was such a fun and almost nostalgic book. Full of adventure, friendship, interesting creatures and learning experiences. Reminiscent of The Little Prince, this story is one that can be enjoyed by anyone at nearly any age. I can see this story becoming a classic tale for young audiences.
As I read this book, I found myself thinking of other titles that have been favorites of mine for as long as I can remember. I'd reccomend Over the Woodrard Wall to fans of; The Little Prince, Laberynth, The Never Ending Story and Alice in Wonderland.
