On the Edge of the Dark Sea of Darkness

Title: On the Edge of the Dark Sea of Darkness
Series: The Wingfeather Saga: Book 1
Author: Andrew Peterson
Warnings: Violent content. I would recommend this book to kids 8 and older. Also, slightly crude humor (the kind that boys like and girls tolerate)
Storyline: Andventure. Peril. Lost Jewels. And the fearsome Toothy Cows of Skree. Join the three Igiby children as they experience all of these and more in their small town of Glipwood. Janner, the oldest, feels like he must always watch his bothersome little siblings. But, when dangers start threatening their lives and home, Janner begins to realize what it means to protect his family, and to become a man.

This is a well written fantasy book. It contains a nice balance of humor and heaviness. The messages within are important and often overlooked in modern literature. I greatly enjoyed this read!
