Monster in the Hollows Book 3 (Wingfeather Saga)

PUBLISHERS WEEKLY BESTSELLER • Now in hardcover for the first time, featuring all-new illustrations! Things are about to go from bad to wolf in the howlingly entertaining third book of the Wingfeather Saga.
Janner, Tink, and Leeli Igiby, the Lost Jewels of Anniera, are hiding from Gnag the Nameless in the Green Hollows, one of the few places in the land of Aerwiar not overrun by the Fangs of Dang. But there's a big problem. Janner's little brother–heir to the throne of Anniera–has grown a tail. And gray fur. Not to mention two pointed ears and long, dangerous fangs. To the suspicious folk of the Green Hollows, he looks like a monster.
But Janner knows better. His brother isn't as scary as he looks. He's perfectly harmless. Isn't he?
Full of characters rich in heart, smarts, and courage, The Monster in the Hollows is a tale children of all ages will cherish, families can read aloud, and readers' groups are sure to enjoy discussing for its many layers of meaning. Extra features include new interior illustrations from Joe Sutphin, funny footnotes, a map of the fantastical world, inventive appendices, and fanciful line art in the tradition of the original Frank L. Baum Wizard of Oz storybooks.
"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
