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.

This second tale of the Wingfeather SagaVery rarely have I had such mixed feelings about a series of books as I have about the Wingfeather Saga thus far. On one hand, there are long sequences that are nailbiting and difficult to put down, in a great way. There are well-timed reveals about certain characters, and the world Peterson is building gets more interesting as the story continues (and I'm a huge sucker for good world-building). On the other, Peterson gets way too bogged down in efforts to be cutesy and funny, and honestly, even
In the words of Oscar M. Reteep, "I like books." After everything that has happened, Glipwood is no longer safe for the Jewels of Anneria. Fangs are everywhereexcept the Ice Prairies. It's too cold for the lizards there, but there's a little underground settlement that would work for the Wingfeather family just fine. When Fangs and Toothy cows invade the woods surrounding Pete's castle, the Wingfeathers make a hurried escape and begin their journey. Janner is unsure. He doesn't think he wants to
There is something amazing in turning the page of a book and not recognizing the phantastical creatures that appear not only in the written word, but the occasional well drawn excerpt from Pembricks Creaturepedia.

N!OBE (as it is affectionately known) picks up quite literally where we left the beloved jewels of Anneria at the end of On the Edge of the Dark Sea of Darkness living with their Uncle
Finished with book 2! After I notoriously disliked the first book in this series, I wasn't sure if there was any hope for the second. And at first, things didn't seem much improved. The writing is a little less silly, there are fewer snot, vomit, and bathroom jokes. That's all to the good. But the plot moved surprisingly slowly. I had a few expectations of this book, none of which materialized:1. There would be a lot of travel, probably spending time getting to know a different island or
Its a really awesome book! One of the things that I love the most about this book is that the Igibys never gives up hope even though it looks like there was no hopes left. Another thing is that there was always a great ending to these Wingfeather Saga books. If I was in the Fork Factory I would also be hopeless because of the way the Overseer and his mean Maintenance Managers treating the us as " tools". The only way I have hope in the Fork Factory was if I have some kids who has hope and that
