The illustrations are almost a required part of the book since Twig lives in such a fantastical world. Twig is saved by a caterbird and is reunited with his Sky Pirate father.įinal thoughts: A fun little story with excellent illustrations. Eventually, he gets to the edge of the woods, and is confronted by the Gloamglozer (the bogeyman of the woods). Along the way, helpful (or not so helpful) individuals send him on his way through the woods. He is befriended by the Slaughterers, nearly dies by a Skullpelt, helps out a Banderbear, who teaches him how to live safely in the woods, is turned into a pet by a Trog, and helps some Sky Pirates, among other adventures. Along the way to figuring out where he comes from, he has many adventures. Unfortunately, he strays from the path almost immediately and gets lost in the Deepwoods. One day, his mother informs him he’s not a woodtroll, and sends him down the path to live with a cousin (so the Sky Pirates don’t take him). Summary: Twig has grown up with the woodtrolls. (Yes, I probably should have done it in the opposite order, but he’s getting old enough to judge his own books, and I’m not about to stop him when he’s actually willing to start a new series.) After he finished the book, I read it to see what it was like. He thought it looked interesting and wanted to start a new series. Curiosity actually picked up the book, which is the first book in the Edge Chronicles.
