Book Tour–On the Edge of the Dark Sea of Darkness

On the Edge of the Dark Sea of Darkness is a fantasy novel that I believe to be targeted at middle-grade readers. The story follows the Igiby siblings, Janner, Tink, and Leeli, as they try to stay out of the grasp of the venom-dripping Fangs of Dang. The Fangs doesn’t refer to their teeth, either. It’s the name of the lizard-like people who have taken over the land of Skree and desperately seek the lost jewels of Anniera. For some reason the Igiby adults (their mama, Nia, and her father, Podo) seem to have something to do with these jewels, but the children are getting rather afraid. They don’t think it’s worth hanging onto the jewels anymore. Maybe if the Fangs of Dang get what they want, they’ll leave the family alone.

Or maybe not.

Andrew Peterson has written a tale filled with strange creatures, but nothing is stranger than the Fangs themselves. They love the grossest things; in fact, Nia bribes the Fang Commander with a promise of delicious maggotloaf. Mmmm, just what we all want for dinner.

Tomorrow we’ll have a look at the opening hook of the story, and see if it works or doesn’t.
