"Well, here we are," exclaimed the first person (named Dwayne) when he saw the very first thing the Maker created. As his descendants repeated this story, they eventually came to call their world Aerwiar. Thus, begins the saga of Wingfeather with its twists and turns, strange creatures (trolls, quill diggles, and ridgerunners); stranger traditions (the Dragon Day Festival, whistletharps, and eating maggotloaf—anyone?); wildly unique characters you can trust (—or can you?); perilous adventures (battles and rescues), and even perilous-er dangers. Beware of the Toothy Cows and Gnag the Nameless! Follow the adventures of the four Igiby children as they discover the truth about themselves and escape the Fangs of Dang. And who will open the Fane of Fire? Full of engaging action, plentiful word play, tongue in cheek humor—and allegory, this literary treasure is a newly printed, 4-volume hardcover series. The series includes occasional poetry and ancient documents, illustrations, maps (not to be used for holiday planning), documents, and Reader's Guides (for #1-3 only). You may have to retrieve it periodically from under your child's pillow since they just can't put it down. A wonderful read aloud as well, each chapter makes a brief and marvelously enjoyable read (with or without accents and pirate voices). ~ Ruth
