This month’s Christian Science Fiction & Fantasy Blog Tour is about author Andrew Peterson’s book, On The Edge Of The Dark Sea Of Darkness: Adventure, Peril, Lost Jewels and the Fearsome Toothy Cows of Skree<\/a>.<\/strong><\/p>\n

This book looks like an incredible delight, and I am kicking myself for not participating in getting an advance reading copy. I thought I wouldn’t have had time to read it since I am working incredibly hard on finishing up my first draft—but I bet I could have made room in my schedule! <\/p>\n

Since I haven’t read the book, I’ll be putting together a review of Andrew’s websites tomorrow. Stay tuned!<\/em><\/p>\n

Here is the cover of the book:<\/strong><\/p>\n

Book Description From Amazon<\/strong><\/p>\n

Once, in a cottage above the cliffs on the Dark Sea of Darkness, there lived three children and their trusty dog Nugget. Janner Igiby, his brother Tink, their crippled sister Leeli are gifted children as all children are, loved well by a noble mother and ex-pirate grandfather. But they will need all their gifts and all that love to survive the evil pursuit of the venomous Fangs of Dang who have crossed the dark sea to rule the land with malice and pursue the Igibys who hold the secret to the lost legend and jewels of good King Wingfeather of the Shining Isle of Anniera.<\/p>\n

Andrew Peterson spins a quirky and riveting tale of the Igibys’ extraordinary journey from Glipwood’s Dragon Day Festival and a secret hidden in the Books and Crannies Bookstore, past the terrifying Black Carriage, clutches of the horned hounds and loathsome toothy cows surrounding AnkleJelly Manor, through the Glipwood Forest and mysterious treehouse of Peet the Sock Man (known for a little softshoe and wearing tattered socks on his hands and arms), to the very edge of the Ice Prairies.<\/p>\n

Full of characters rich in heart, smarts, and courage, On the Edge of the Dark Sea of Darkness presents a world of wonder and a tale children of all ages will cherish, families can read aloud, and readers’ groups are sure to discuss for its layers of meaning about life’s true treasure and tangle of the beautiful and horrible, temporal and eternal, and good and bad.<\/p>\n
