The Monster in the Hollows by Andrew Peterson

Meanwhile, a trio of siblings (Janner, Tink, and Leeli Igiby) are doing their best to stay out of trouble and avoid any tussles with the Fangs, so as not to worry their dear mama or Grandpa Podo.īut this is a fantasy-adventure story, so you can expect that trouble is about to find them, and turn their world upside down. Bands of sinister Fangs holds sway in the villages and lanes as an occupying force, and only the grown folks can remember a time before, when the true kings and queens reigned from the Shining Isle of Anniera. It’s said that Gnag won’t rest until he finds the legendary Jewels of Anniera. The Land of Aerwear (sounds like “There we are!”) lies under the scourge of invasion and occupation, as the vile forces of Gnag the Nameless have crossed the Dark Sea of Darkness and now hold the people of Skree and surrounding lands under their scaly thumbs.

I’ll try to give you just enough, because I’d hate to spoil any of it. What a delight it is to visit the world of these books! Enough Build-up! What’s The Series About, Dave?

A few months after that, I read Wingfeather Tales, a collection of short stories and novellas by multiple authors that take place “in-universe,” and was again surprised by how vivid and powerful these stories are. Thank the providence and generosity of God, we stumbled upon a used (and signed!) copy of Book 2 at a second-hand book shop there in town, for less than $2! By the time we had arrived home, we had begun asking friends from church if we could borrow the others, and eventually were each able to finish reading the series proper. We finished the first book just before we arrived at our destination, and were eager to keep going, but the audio of North! Or Be Eaten wasn’t available for download. I had heard that Peterson was a good writer, so I decided to take a chance on it. So, back in March, as we prepared to head east to visit my in-laws, I happened to see that the first book in the Wingfeather series ( On the Edge of the Dark Sea of Darkness) was available on audio. Here’s the Backstory: It’s become a family roadtrip tradition for my wife and I to check out a few audiobooks from the library before we travel. I would just love for you to support these writers!)įriends, I’ve been waiting for months to tell you about this series of stories! (You can find all these books here! And that’s not an affiliate link, either I get nothing from it.
