Publisher Description

Rick Yancey's first gothic suspense tale, The Monstrumologist, earned him a prestigious Michael L. Printz Award. The second installment of this acclaimed series, Curse of the Wendigo, finds young Will Henry on the hunt for a supernatural beast plaguing New England in the late 1800s. Will and his mentor, the domineering Dr. Warthrop, are enlisted to help the doctor's former fiancée. It seems her husband has been lost in the Canadian wilderness. And to make matters worse, there are reports that a Wendigo - a creature who gorges on human flesh - is on the loose.

"This was a great book, but a shade behind the first book. It's got everything, suspense, conflict, mystery. Then there's the developing relationship between Will Henry and Pelinore Waltrip. It's a great read that I would've rated a 4.5 rather than a 4. The one thing that made this implausible is the idea that Waltrip carried a full grown man through 400 miles of Canadian wilderness, without hardly any food, and none the last several days. Other than that, it's a titanic book!"

    " While I thought "The Mostrumologist" was stronger thematically, I really appreciated the extent both Will Henry and Pellinore Warthorp's characters were developed psychologically. I am looking forward to seeing how these characters continue to grow. "

    " Will Henry's story continues to be complex, dark, and enthralling. I haven't looked to see if there's another book in the works, but I would be very happy if that were the case. My only very minor complaint was an occasional slip in terms of language--I'm pretty sure people in the 19th century didn't think in terms of going on dates. But that's really, really minor.

    " As a sequel to The Monstrumologist or a standalone book, The Curse of the Wendigo is a flat out success in my less than humble opinion. Rick Yancey knows how to combine incredible, strong and vibrant characters AND a gangbusters plot. "

    " I missed reading Yancy's Printz honor winning Monstrumologist but will certainly rectify that ASAP now that I've finished this gorgeously creepy and thoughtful book about monsters and...what it means to be human. This is a sequel but stands alone just fine and I am eager for the story to continue. "

    " Second book. Pellinore and Will Henry investigate the disappearance of Pellinore's old friend. Too wordy. Long periods of blah blah blah with bursts of gruesome, repulsive imagery. Too many loose ends, and not much closure. Disappointing. Why did I bother to finish the book? "

    " I loved it, but be warned, it is one of the most disturbing books I've ever read. Yancey does not pull his punches, and while I was riveted to the story, I had to wonder if it crossed the line for the YA market. There's a whole lot of excrement and a whole lot of mutilation, so be ready for it. "
