Product Description
Review
"In the Tolkien/Pratchett tradition, fabulously illustrated and written with more than usual elegance."
--"The Sunday Times
,,"." combines skilfully paced narrative with global issues such as slavery and environmental destruction. Lots ofsurprising plot developments... full of everything"
--"Independent"
"As before, Stewart's descriptions of corrupt and disgusting goings-on are brilliantly visualized; also as before, Riddell's line drawings are exquisitely detailed and notably grotesque.. Altogether this series is so exceptional that if I had any chance of collecting, I'd bet good money on it still being in print a century from now.. When's the next book coming?"

Format:Hardcover
After reading Harry Potter i felt it was the best series of books in the world! It really captured my imagination. I never thought that anything that happened in it would happen (readers will know what i mean). It was so good no other book comes close. It was really very very very touching. I never thought books could take you away from your real life like these ones do.

Twig, now a sky pirate captain, finally finds his father, only to say goodbye... but before Cloud Wolf disappears, he tells Twig something. Mother Earth is returning, to refill the almost empty supply of Riverrise water, and Sanctaphrax must be unchained for her to reach there. Otherwise her strength would be wasted on the object impending her, and the Edgelands will dry out, and so all life will be destroyed...the problem is, the moment Cloud Wolf and his ship disappeared, there was an explosion, and Twig and his crew were scattered, each somewhere in the Edgelands...and all have forgotten what had happened on the Stormchaser, save the Stone Pilot- but she is far, far away... and time is running out......... Thumbs up! A must read, with a moral as well- No matter what happens, just believe in yourself, and most of all, follow your heart...

I should say that I'm a little (?) older than most readers, but just as captivated by this fabulous writer.
The 3rd book in the series is the fattest one yet, maybe getting just a little too big for the younger reader... But anyone hooked on the previous two books will not care - they will only wish it were even longer!
Read the prequel to learn more about Cloud Wolf.

Read the prequel to learn more about Cloud Wolf.
Paul stewart's imagination is unleashed in this episode - there are more strange creatures, people and beasts than ever - and Chris Riddell's illustrations get better & better - I WISH I could draw like that!
I can't wait for the next volume ... will it be about Twig or Cowlquape?

Very enjoyable
bought for my son who was delighted with the earlier book. He has devoured this too - and at age 12 anything which gets him reading can get no higher praise. P.S. Read more

Twig's adventure continues
Twig is now a sky-pirate, and he's going to rescue his father Cloud Wolf and save Sanctaphrax from the Great Storm. I thought it was absolutely brilliant - I loved it.

Can Paul Stewart Get Any Better?
I think it must be impossible for Paul Stewart to write a bad 'Edge Chronicles' book. This series of books has captured my imagination and emotions. Read more
