Ranger's Guide to Glipwood Forest (Wingfeather Saga)
If you’re preparing to head deeper into the dangerous Glipwood Forest, take this guide with you. Travel to places like Foot Rub Creek, go along the Western Edge; don’t miss out on The Lunching Table (deep in the forest, and East of Dugtown). This newly “discovered” guide by one of the first Rangers, Owen Groverly, “translated” by Andrew Peterson, is beautifully “restored.” The hardcover, glued saddle-stitched volume (5.15x 7.76 inches) will perfectly fit inside your pack—ready to assist at a moment’s notice. Maps, botanical drawings, written directions, and mnemonics guide you in surviving and foraging (such as Redberry, redberry/Yummy to eat./Look for the thorn/On the redberry’s feet). Owen’s guide also recounts some of the deepest, darkest adventures of the first forest rangers, most of whom are now in The Maker’s care. They’ve prepped the way so you’ll be carefully directed in surviving the terrors of the forest. If instead, you’d rather follow my personal plan of action and start your adventure in the Wingfeather series, I recommend reading On the Edge of the Dark Sea of Darkness (027118) first. Dedication page, 125 pgs, hc. ~ Ruth
A Ranger’s Guide to Glipwood Forest expands the legend and lore of this treacherous land of fatal flora and fanged beasts—and the history of the first adventurers daring enough to brave the forest depths. Through detailed line art, maps, and directions, travelers can safely marvel at the majestic glipwood trees, poke around the (possibly haunted) Anklejelly Cavern, dip their toes into the Mighty River Blapp (if they dare!), and avoid falling off a cliff edge into the Dark Sea of Darkness and being swallowed by a sea dragon.
"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
