On the Edge of the Dark Sea of Darkness

This is a rich and vivid middle-grade book that I devoured! It has a shanty, yet fairy-tale driven, nostalgic vibe. And it's a high fantasy, but geared more towards kids! The MC is 12, so I can see a lot of middle schoolers really feeling drawn and attached to this book. Yet it doesn't omit the potential to capture older readers like myself (ok...I'm 26, not that old! C'mon!). Peterson is a gifted storyteller who will leave you wanting more. I know I sure do!
