Praise for the Wingfeather Saga“I love all the adventure and the wild inventiveness and, most of all, the heart in Andrew’s books. He is a poet and a master storyteller. I want to read anything he writes.”
—Sally Lloyd-Jones, New York Times best-selling author of children’s books “An experience your family will never forget. I can’t recommend these books highly enough!”
—Sarah Mackenzie, author of The Read-Aloud Family and founder and host of the Read-Aloud Revival podcast “The Wingfeather Saga is witty, imaginative, and full of heart. Highly recommended for middle-grade readers who’ve run out of Narnia novels and are searching for their next great series.”
—Anne Bogel, creator of the Modern Mrs. Darcy blog and host of the What Should I Read Next? podcast “A wildly imaginative, wonderfully irreverent epic that shines with wit and wisdom—and features excellent instructions on how to cope with thwaps, Fangs, and the occasional toothy cow.”
—Allan Heinberg, writer and coexecutive producer of ABC’s Grey’s Anatomy and cocreator of Marvel Comics’ Young Avengers “Immensely clever!”
—Phil Vischer, creator of VeggieTales
