“Very good book, but you have to read book Out of the Wild to get the unanswered questions.”

“Fairy Tales gone amok! Imagine this: Rapunzel (Zel to her friends) found a way to defeat "The Wild" and stopped the insanity of continually playing out the story she and other fairy tale people were condemned to do. She got them out of the wild and into a modern day existence.

Zel's daughter, Julie was not born until Zel felt it was safe. The wimpering, tiny bit of the wild lives underneath Julie's bed and that is where the fairy tale characters intend to keep it...that is until someone tricked the three bears who were guarding the witch's well at The Wishing Well Motel and the wild flourished and overtook modern day Northboro! Oh no! Are the characters doomed to, once again, be slaves to their stories? Julie now knows her mom was a hero and outwitted the wild the first time...can Julie do it this time?
Modern day meets medieval fairy tale life as this clever ingenious story plays out. Into the Wild will have you remembering all your favorite fairy tales while trying to imagine them living together in a free-will type of existence. A clever approach to fractured fairy tales”
“It's not the best but right now I'm only on page 30.”

“The Wild is a fairy-tale world -- at least it was until the fairy-tale characters escaped -- but lately it's just a mass of hungry vines stuffed under Julie's bed. Julie, her mom Rapunzel (yep, that Rapunzel -- think long hair, tower, prince), and her brother Puss-in-Boots (okay, he's a cat) do their best to keep it hidden and under control. But Julie's sick of living with the Wild -- it eats her jeans and sneakers whenever it wants! Junior high is tough enough, even with a normal family. When someone makes a dangerous wish that sets the Wild free, it grows and grows and quickly begins to devour Julie's entire Massachusetts town. The Wild is hungry, and this time it wants its characters back for good. Julie must venture deep into the Wild and outsmart wicked witches, feisty giants, and super-cute princes in the ultimate quest to save her family. She fights her way to the heart of the fairy tale and discovers she must risk everything or lose her chance to live in the real world... and if Julie can't find a way to defeat the happily-ever-after, she'll never see her family again. Sarah Beth Durst weaves a postmodern fairy tale that's fresh, funny, and sweetly poignant.”

“What if I told you all those fairy tales you’ve ever read were real. But here’s the catch. Those fairy tales take place in the Wild where characters like Rapunzel and Cinderella and Goldilocks are made to relive their stories over and over and over, each time the story begins anew the characters forget that they’ve been living this story for centuries. That was until Rapunzel tricked the Wild and freed all the fairy tale characters from its grasp. Now the Wild is a troublesome tangle of weeds living under Julie’s, Rapunzel’s daughter, bed. When someone makes a wish and sets the Wild free all the characters are pulled back in and it’s up to Julie to save her mom and the other characters from the Wild this time. ”
