Now in hardcover for the first time, featuring all-new illustrations! Once, in a cottage above the cliffs on the Dark Sea of Darkness, there lived three children and their trusty dog, Nugget.

Janner Igiby, his brother, Tink, and their disabled sister, Leeli, are gifted children as all children are, loved well by a noble mother and ex-pirate grandfather. But they will need all their gifts and all that they love to survive the evil pursuit of the venomous Fangs of Dang, who have crossed the dark sea to rule the land with malice. The Igibys hold the secret to the lost legend and jewels of good King Wingfeather of the Shining Isle of Anniera.

Full of characters rich in heart, smarts, and courage, On the Edge of the Dark Sea of Darkness 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. Extra features include new interior illustrations from Joe Sutphin, funny footnotes, a map of the fantastical world, inventive appendices, and fanciful line art in the tradition of the original Frank L. Baum Wizard of Oz storybooks.

This book begins the epic Wingfeather Saga (my username? get it? i'm so obsessed!). The three Igiby children's lives were fairly quiet, until their dog got in a fight with one of the evil Fangs in town. Their lives are totally changed and they begin to find out the truth about themselves. This book isn't as tense as the rest of the series, but provides a wonderful introduction to the world of Aeirweir. Sadly, this book doesn't get a lot of attention, even though it's sooooooo good. Beware the toothy cows! (totally serious.)

this is my favorite book ever about three kids and how there life goes upsidown and they find out there real names.
