The Edge Chronicles: Midnight
Over Sanctaphrax Paul Stewart and Chris Riddell David Fickling Books © 2004 |
Have you ever been lost and have absolutely no clue where you are but you know that you’re in danger? Well, whether you have or you haven’t, you can join a boy named Twig who gets lost in a vast forest called the Deepwoods. Inside this dense forest, Twig encounters many odd creatures who mostly want to kill him.
This is the third book in the series. You really should read the other two books before you read this one to get the full understanding. In this book Twig, a newly crowned sky pirate captain, has earned his own ship and has gone searching into the Mother Storm, the worst storm ever to come to the Edge (where everyone lives), for his father whose got dragged into the vortex or center of the storm and couldn’t get out. His father’s name is Cloud Wolf and he stayed loyal to his ship, but he made his crew along with Twig abandon ship. While searching throughout the storm, Twig and his crew aboard The Edgedancer (Twig’s ship) get blown up. Now twig is in search of his lost crew. He has set off into a slave market and back into the dreadful Deepwoods. Will he ever find them? Read this book if you want to know Twig’s fate.
I would probably recommend this book to anyone around the ages of 12-14 years old. Around this age would probably be appropriate because people get killed and some of the stories can get pretty scary. If you like adventure stories with a lot of twists, then this book series are the right choice for you.
