Book Guide

Janner Wingfeather’s father was the High King of Anniera. But his father is gone. The kingdom has fallen. The royal family is on the run, and the Fang armies of Gnag the Nameless are close behind. Janner and his family hope to find refuge in the last safe place in the world: the Green Hollows—a land of warriors feared even by the Fangs of Dang. But there’s a big problem. Janner’s little brother—heir to the throne of Anniera—has grown a tail. And gray fur. Not to mention two pointed ears and long, dangerous fangs. To the suspicious folk of the Green Hollows he looks like a monster. But Janner knows better. His brother isn’t as scary as he looks. He’s perfectly harmless.

Or is he?

Join the Wingfeathers on a new adventure filled with mystery, betrayal, and sneakery in a land of tasty fruits. There’s a monster in the Hollows and the truth lurks in the shadows.

Good Book Mom

The Wingfeather Saga by Andrew Peterson
This is a very well-written, beginner fantasy series. There is not much magic, and the magic that is there is not overtly evil. The Wingfeather children are all given special gifts by the Maker that connect them to one another...

Plough

The Gospel in Wingfeather
Reviewed by Thomas M. Ward
I was prepared to enjoy a good yarn and have something to talk to the kids about; I was not prepared to find such a believable depiction of love for one’s enemies and such heartbreaking reflection on the cost of redemption. I don’t say this lightly: I don’t think children’s literature has achieved the theological depth of Wingfeather since the Chronicles of Narnia...

Plumfield and Paideia

Wingfeather Saga #3 & #4: Monster in the Hollows & Warden and the Wolf King
Reviewed by Sara Masarik
A fascinating look into school (guilds), an incredible subplot with Nia and a new pastoral scene which is precariously held like holding one’s breath. The lost are found. The blamed are found blameless. The monsters are real but they are not monsters at all. What starts as a hopeful, restful, pastoral story line is marred by tremendous loss and suffering but always pushes forward, reaching for the light.
