Praise for North! Or Be Eaten“Peterson deserves every literary prize for this fine book. It is obvious that his musical talents have been put to good use as his use of words, plot and narrative read like a well scored film script. A very fine book, by a very fine writer and future talent. Amazing - thrilling and well worth reading again and again.”–G. P. Taylor, New York Times best-selling author of Shadowmancer and The Dopple Ganger Chronicles“Toothy cows are very dangerous. Andrew Peterson convinced me and shivers run down my spine at the very thought of meeting a toothy cow face to face. The author spills characters like Podo and Nurgabog onto the page, then weaves a tale of danger that holds the reader captive. Believe me, you will relish being held captive by this master storyteller. But be sure you don’t get caught by the Stranders. Those people just ain’t civilized.”–Donita K. Paul, author of The Vanishing Sculptor“In a genre overrun by the gory and the grim, Peterson’s bite-sized chapters taste more like a stew of Gorey (Edward) and Grimm (the Brothers). North! Or Be Eaten is a welcome feast of levity--and clearly a labor of love. Andrew Peterson has awakened my inner eight-year-old, and that is a very good thing.”–Jeffrey Overstreet, author of Auralia’s Colors and Cyndere’s Midnight“An immensely clever tale from a wonderful storyteller - filled with great values and even greater adventure!”–Phil Vischer, creator of VeggieTales “Thrills, chills, spine-tingling mystery, and lots of smiles. It’s not easy to combine heart-pounding danger with gut-busting laughs and make it work, but Peterson pulls it off. For readers who want nonstop action infused with powerful, life-changing themes, North! Or Be Eaten is a must-read.”–Wayne Thomas Batson, best-selling author of The Door Within Trilogy, Isle of Swords and Isle of Fire“Andrew Peterson is a gifted storyteller, scene painter and wordsmith who takes you on a rollicking white-water ride of adventure. Readers of all ages are sure to find North! Or Be Eaten worthy of a big mug filled with a favorite beverage and a cozy nook near a crackling fire for hours on end. Here there be tales within yarns within stories. Listen, reader, bend your ear, but keep an eye peeled lest the dreaded Fangs of Dang be near!”–R. K. Mortenson, author of Landon Snow and The Auctor’s Riddle Andrew Peterson is the author of On the Edge of the Dark Sea of Darkness, Book One in the Wingfeather Saga, and The Ballad of Matthew’s Begats. He’s also the critically-acclaimed singer-songwriter and recording artist of ten albums, including Resurrection Letters II. He and his wife, Jamie, live with their two sons and one daughter in a little house they call The Warren near Nashville, Tennessee. Visit his websites: www.andrew-peterson.com and www.rabbitroom.com.
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,1 the thieving Stranders of the East Bend,2 and the dreaded Fork Factory.3
But even more dangerous are the jealousies and bitterness that threaten to tear them apart, and Janner and his siblings must learn the hard way that the love of a family is more important than anything else.
1. All possessing very sharp teeth.
2. Murderous scoundrels, the lot.
3. Woe!
Good, but not for wimps. This is not a wimpy book for young adults. It's robust. I marked hopeful for the mood of the book because in the end it is the predominant mood, however dark comes in a VERY close second, especially for the whole section of the book dealing with Dugtown and the fork factory. This section brought myself, an adult woman, and my husband to tears and weighed down our hearts, even though it's fictional, because the types of things described in it are very very real in our world. If you want your kids to have a faith that can face the horrors of a fallen world and not shrivel, then this book (and series) is a good tool in that effort. Just make sure you are around to talk through the themes, images and ideas that are raised in it's pages.Loving this series! I did not expect to fall so in love with this series! My husband and I wrapped up "North, or be Eaten!" and purchased the last two books of the series the next day. (Even though this is technically a children's series, it has enough action, drama, twists, and lessons to entertain adult audiences as well.)This is the second book of the Wingfeather Saga and I recommend reading the first book before this one, but I think it would still make sense if this had to be your starting point... But if possible, do start with "On the Edge of the Dark Sea of Darkness." Anyways....I suppose what makes this books for me was the characters. I wish I could meet some of them! From major characters to minor, they are well built; perfectly flawed; and even with their extremes, somehow believable. There's not the typical trio of perfect and wise main character, goofy sidekick, and a love interest.The story itself was great fun and kept my husband and I guessing. While dark at some points, or a tad scary in others (Tilling Court! Gosh!!! That was horrifying, lol!) there's nothing here that wouldn't be fine for families. The Igiby siblings, though obviously not ordinary, are still a wonderful example for children to learn from.
