Even the Wild Man of Greenhollow can't ignore a summons from his mother, when that mother is the indomitable Adela Silver, practical folklorist. Henry Silver does not relish what he'll find in the grimy seaside town of Rothport, where once the ancient wood extended before it was drowned beneath the sea-a missing girl, a monster on the loose, or, worst of all, Tobias Finch, who loves him.

I enjoyed Drowned Country almost as much as Silver in the Wood. This picks up some time after the events of the first book with Tobias enjoying a life of freedom and Henry now the 'wild man' tied to the woods. In this book, Tobias and Henry team up to find a young woman who's apparently gone missing but is more resourceful, spunky and careless than expected. I found this an engrossing read that I didn't want to end.
