NOW AN ANIMATED SERIES: Based on Andrew Peterson’s epic fantasy novels—starring Jody Benson, Henry Ian Cusick, and Kevin McNally. Executive Producer J. Chris Wall with Shining Isle Productions, and distributed by Angel Studios.
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. Includes interior illustrations, a map of the fantastical world, inventive appendices, and a reader’s guide with discussion questions and writing activities.
"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
