Janner Igiby, his brother, Tink, and their sister, Leeli, are gifted children as all children are, loved by their noble mother and ex-pirate grandfather.
After living for years under the occupation by the evil Fangs of Dang, the Igiby children find a map rumoured to lead to the lost Jewels of Anniera - the one thing the Fangs will do anything to find. The family is thrown headlong into a perilous adventure, uncovering truths that will change their world forever.
On the Edge of the Dark Sea of Darkness is a tale children of all ages will cherish, families can read aloud, and readers' groups are sure to enjoy discussing for its many layers of meaning.
Extra features include new interior illustrations from Joe Sutphin, funny footnotes, a map of the fantastical world, and inventive appendices.
Get this volume for your children and for yourself. It's the kind of story that belongs on a shelf alongside the Chronicles of Narnia and The Hobbit. є є є є є Reader review
My eldest enjoyed this series immensely, and I just finished reading it aloud to my younger three; the eldest listened in for most of it. What a well-written, exciting tale with plenty of mystery. Page turning, edge-of-your-seat reading that had our whole family spellbound. We dive into North or be Eaten tomorrow! є є є є є Reader review
The first book in the Wingfeather Saga. It grabs you and never lets go. I highly recommend this book by a seriously good author. є є є є є Reader review
It was the front cover that attracted me to this book and I'm glad it did. The story is set in a magical world that felt so real. It manages to be both humorous and scary. The characters were well built and described so well that I felt I was in an RPG computer game! є є є є є Reader review
This is the beginning of a fantastic series of books. When...
These books really stand out in current children's fiction - they are vibrant tales with many fast-paced and surprising plot twists plus the characters face real, often terrifying, challenges, and experience sorrow and joy, worries and self doubts, new beginnings and restoration. They are fully human. And through each tale are woven varied threads of hope, courage, companionship, faith and self-discovery. An enriching experience.
Highly recommended reads for 8-14 year olds, though younger readers (age 8-9) would benefit from reading with an adult to aid their understanding and enjoyment.
