First they found themselves On the Edge of the Dark Sea of Darkness. Now they must make their way North! Or Be Eaten . . . Janner, Tink, and Leeli Igiby thought they were normal children with normal lives and a normal past. But now they know they're really the Lost Jewels of Anniera, heirs to a legendary kingdom across the sea, and suddenly everyone wants to kill them. In order to survive, the Igibys must flee to the safety of the Ice Prairies, where the lizardlike Fangs of Dang cannot follow. First, however, they have to escape the monsters of Glipwood Forest, the thieving Stranders of the East Ben, and the dreaded Fork Factory. But even more dangerous are the jealousies and bitterness that threaten to tear them apart. Janner and his siblings must learn the hard way that the love of a family is more important than anything else. Full of characters rich in heart, smarts, and courage, North! Or Be Eaten 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.

DNFI can see why people would love this, but I just couldn't get into it. This is very much a case of 'it's me not you' though. I am going through a massive (reading) slump at the moment, and this is not the book that will get me through the day/week/month...I would still like to thank Netgalley for giving me the opportunity to read this.This one is easily my favorite of the first two. While I loved the fast-moving pace of On the Edge of the Dark Sea of Darkness, this book picks right up and dives into something deeper and grittier. Some of the elements surprised me as being in a middle-grade novel because it deals with extremely real situations like child labor, kids being kidnapped and mercilessly put to work in a factory, and some other matters. Again, Peterson infuses the very ordinary/daily life into the extraordinary, as
This is the second in the Wingfeather Saga. I loved the first one, but I was afraid I wasnt going to finish this one. The first half was so slow! But Im glad I stuck with it. When it finally picked up, I couldnt put it down!
(Spoiler Free)When CS Lewis wrote Narnia, he wasn't really writing fantasy - he was playing with "dressed rabbits" - a style of anthropomorphizing pastoral animals and mythic creatures (like centaurs) so as to give the story a magical setting. Basically, however, the creatures all followed rules that were fairly basic to regular humans and this made Narnia quite relatable to most of it's readers. When Tolkien built Middle Earth, he built an entirely different world than our own. Instead of magic
If I had to pick one Wingfeather Saga book to tell people to reread, it would be this one. Obviously, you have to read the whole series. Read it multiple times, better still! But this is the one for which I consider a reread most essential.Read it once, to hear the story, to feel the pain of mistakes made by broken people.Read it again, once you know how the story ends, so you can realize how far those people go and how the seeds of the growth were planted in their mistakes.(And then reread

About halfway through, the goofy names and bodily humor slowed down and the storytelling picked up. Have hope for the third book!
