Description
Once, in a cottage above the cliffs at the Dark Sea of Darkness, there lived three children and their trusty dog Nugget.
Janner Igiby, his brother Tink, their crippled sister Leeli are gifted children as all children are, loved well by a noble mother and ex-pirate grandfather. But they’re going to need all their gifts and all that love to continue to exist the evil pursuit of the venomous Fangs of Dang who have crossed the dark sea to rule the land with malice and pursue the Igibys who hold the name of the game to the lost legend and jewels of good King Wingfeather of the Shining Isle of Anniera.
Andrew Peterson spins a quirky and riveting tale of the Igibys’ atypical journey from Glipwood’s Dragon Day Festival and a secret hidden within the Books and Crannies Bookstore, past the terrifying Black Carriage, clutches of the horned hounds and loathsome toothy cows surrounding AnkleJelly Manor, through the Glipwood Forest and mysterious treehouse of Peet the Sock Man (known for a bit of softshoe and wearing tattered socks on his hands and arms), to the very edge of the Ice Prairies.
Full of characters wealthy in heart, smarts, and courage, On the Edge of the Dark Sea of Darkness presents a world of wonder and a tale children of every age will cherish, families can read aloud, and readers’ groups are sure to speak about for its layers of meaning about life’s true treasure and tangle of the beautiful and horrible, temporal and eternal, and good and bad.
