The Edge Chronicles: Beyond the Deepwoods is the first in a series of books by Paul Stewart and Chris Riddell. The main character is Twig, a human boy, who has been raised by Woodtrolls. Twig doesn’t feel he belongs with the Woodtrolls and sets out in search of The Edge, but first he has to get through the Deepwoods. He encounters all sorts of creatures on his journey such as flesh-eating trees, Halitoads, Slaughters, a Gloamglozer and Sky Pirates. There is danger at every turn in the Deepwoods, but Twig is determined to find out where he came from and how he ended up with the Woodtrolls. The illustrations throughout the book are pretty amazing and the illustrator really captures the author’s descriptions. If you like fantastical adventure stories this book may be for you.
