CSFFB Tour With Andrew Peterson: Day One

Top Ten Reasons Why I LOVED "On The Edge Of The Dark Sea of Darkness"
(In no particular order)

1. Word play--one of my favorite things! Just re-read the title...look at who the villains are: Fangs of Dang...too cool!

2. Andrew's use of footnotes to reference works that aren't real, which lends authenticity to his fantasy novel! Too Cool Times Two!

3. Read aloud quality. The rhythm of the writing was soothing and lyrical, which was nice when my son insisted I read out loud to him for an entire chapter.

4. Short chapters (see #3).

5. Character development. Each Igiby child was so unique, and I loved them for individual characteristics.

6. Peet the Sock Man...'nuff said!

7. It's a series...which I LOVE!

8. Cover design and sketches were so inviting, and Narnia-ish.

9. This is a book the entire family can read and enjoy, and would make a good family read aloud book.

10. My son and I both read it (even though he out-read me By. One. Page.) click here for details.

Happy Reading!
