Grade 5-8–The first two books in this fantasy series introduced Twig, a young human who lives in the deep woods and was raised by trolls. In Book 1, Twig abandons the world he knows to pursue the world of his destiny. In the second book, Twig, a sky pirate captain, sails on the
Stormchaser seeking to avenge the betrayal of his father, Cloud Wolf. In the third book by Paul Stewart and Chris Riddell (David Fickling Books, 2004), Twig has been commissioned to save Sanctaphrax by severing the anchor that holds the floating city. Twig has lost all memory of the instructions his pirate father gave him. Elements of Tolkiens
The Hobbit, C. S. Lewiss
Chronicles of Narnia, and
Star Trek will keep readers enthralled. The story contains episodes of violence and death, and deals with issues of slavery and class divisions. Narrator John Lee provides a distinct voice for each character. A good choice for middle school fantasy collections.–
