About the Series

The Wingfeather Saga follows Janner, Tink, and Leeli Igiby in a thrilling four-book journey through Skree’s Glipwood. Though Janner had always considered life in Glipwood dull, his perspective changes drastically when his brother Tink stumbles upon a map that leads to the Jewels of Anniera and discloses a secret only alluded to in stories.

That’s where the saga begins. And there is nothing dull about it.

This four-volume series is a thrilling page-turner with intense battles and plot twists that will keep you reading all night long. In fact, you may want to be sure you have the next book handy as you near the end of each one! Trust me…you won’t want to wait for the next one to arrive!

The fantasy world that Andrew Peterson conveived conceived by Andrew Peterson boasts a creative cast of characters unlike any you’ve seen before. Battles between evil villains and honorable heroes, epic adventure, edge-of-your-seat suspense, lighthearted humor, and even some subtle romance will pull you into every single page.

About the Books

In the first book of the series, On the Edge of the Dark Sea of Darkness, the Igiby family—Janner, Tink, Leeli, their widowed mother, and their grandfather—take center stage. On the day of the Sea Dragon festival, the people of Glipwood gather at the edge of the Dark Sea of Darkness to watch the sea dragons swim by. When a Fang attacks Leeli and her dog Nugget, Janner and Tink join the fight. This encounter sparks an epic conflict that pits the Igiby family against Gnag the Nameless and his army of Fangs. However, this battle has only just begun.

North! Or Be Eaten book coverNorth! Or Be Eaten, the second book in the series, finds the Igiby family on the run from the Fangs. To evade their hungry pursuers, they set out for the Ice Prairies in the North. However, en route, the family confronts deadly hunters, a seemingly unending array of terrifying predicaments, and an even greater number of Fangs. Upon reaching the Ice Prairies, a battle breaks out, forcing the family to sail for the safety of Green Hollows. But will they really be safe?

In The Monster in the Hollows, the Igiby children are excited to finally lead a normal life in Green Hollows, their mother’s homeland. But normal life in Green Hollows is very different than normal life elsewhere. In Green Hollows, children learn to fight and guard their land—with their lives if necessary. And in the forests surrounding Green Hollows, there are monsters. But not all the monsters are bad, and one monster, in particular, has a secret that could change everything.

The The Warden and the Wolf King is the exciting conclusion of the Wingfeather Saga. War has broken out as the fight for the Jewels of Anniera intensifies. Still, no matter how much the people of Green Hollows fight back, the Fangs just seem to keep coming. In the end, Gnag the Nameless will be defeated, but at what cost? For just as in real life, victory often requires sacrifice.

Andrea Cox

Just started these books with my kids, excited to comtinue

Cristina

says:

As a mom and a Speech-Language Pathologist, I really appreciate series of books for young readers that have creativity and good quality content and vocabulary. So many books for our kids are just silly and lacking substance.

We agree, Cristina! I hope you and your kids enjoy this wonderful series!

Elise

says:

Sounds like a great series! We will definitely be checking them out soon!

Claudiemireille Olson

says:

I will check it out! Sound really good! Thanks for the recommendation!

Teresa

says:

My kids and I LOVE LOVE LOVE these books! We ended up buying the short story companion and creature encyclopedia too. We also listen the soundtrack the author wrote – it is beautiful.
There is a cartoon series coming out for it, I think there is one episode on Angel Studios. That stuff is almost never as good as the books in my opinion, but we will still check it out.

Robin E.

says: Customer Service

I hadn’t heard that a cartoon series was being made for the Wingfeather Saga, Teresa! Interesting. But I agree, such things are very rarely as good as the books.

Larae

says:

This series is definitely at the top of my daughter’s favorites (age 12) and she has gotten all her friends to read and live them as well.

Robin E.

says: Customer Service

Sharing favorite books with friends is the best, Larae!

Becki

says:

My kids absolutely love the Wingfeather Saga! Although I do get tired of hearing about toothy cows. I really hope more books eventually come to this series.

Robin E.

says: Customer Service

Thank you for letting us know that your kids have enjoyed this series, Becki! I know that double feeling of pleasure and dread when a kid is so very interested in a book. You’re pleased about their enthusiasm about reading but you dread hearing about it for the 118th time in one day. ?

Calista Smith

says:

Yes, these are amazing!!!! They are my new favorite book series. Right up there with Narnia and Lord of the Rings. :)

Sonja

says:

Thank you for this! Your blog is so helpful and full of amazing and resourceful suggestions and ideas. I had not heard of this series before. One of my kids is a huge fantasy reader (Harry Potter, A Series of Unfortunate Events, The Chronicles of Naria, etc) so we will go look for it!

Robin E.

says: Customer Service

You’re welcome, Sonja! I hope your child enjoys this series as much as you have all those others.

Amy Mackie
