Charlotte Gale lives by her music. Fiddle music gives
her the wild power to achieve her goals. Surrounded by
Aunts and other family possessing wild powers, keeps
"Charlie" striving to keep one step ahead. Taking the 14
year old twin under her wing adds even more chaos to her
life. Jack is the dragon Prince and sorcerer not yet coming
into his full power.
Charlie is drawn into becoming an ally of a group of
Selkies, fighting against offshore drilling and imminent oil
spills and pollution. From mine caves under the sea to
transporting herself back in time, Charlie has the added
chore of working to offset the damage her Aunt Catherine has
caused by stealing the seal pelts to further the drilling
project. Set on stopping the drilling, Charlie, the Selkies
and other Gale members are caught up in surprising and
uncanny lightning storms among attacks by Goblins, a fierce
troll that nearly ends her life and Boggarts. All of this
is in the effort of retrieving the pelts and putting a stop
to the drilling. Charlie will finally come into herself with
the realization of what her magic and wild powers are.
THE WILD WAYS is extremely fast paced with many
characters to sort through and activity completely alien to
a regular reader like me. I had a hard time getting into
the story with all the Fey, Goblins and Selkie terms, but
the story finally fit together closer to the end of the
book. There is definitely a lot there to peak the brain
as well as a world full of excitement for readers.
