Far, far away, jutting out into the emptiness beyond, lies the Edge. Filled with strange peoples and terrifying creatures, this is a world unlike any other, where action - and danger - await at every turn. Abandoned at birth in the dangerous Deepwoods, young Twig has been brought up by a family of woodtrolls. He has always thought the was one of them, until, one cold night, he finds out he's not.

So begins the heart-stopping adventure that will take Twig through a nightmarish world of goblins and trogs, bloodthirsty beasts and flesh-eating trees. Only two things keep Twig going; the hopes of discovering his true identity and finding his destiny.

This was a charming story filled with all kinds of interesting creatures and has quite a few wonderful illustrations that make the book all the more wonderful. It's filled with adventure for the main character, Twig, as well as some sad points. I thinks it's a great read for young and old alike.

The story of Twig, a young boy raised by woodtrolls, who is trying to find out where he came from. He travels across the Deepwoods, and eventually beyond them, meeting countless tribes and groupings of creatures, to find his destiny. Beautiful illustrations throughout the book.

My boss was doing a clean-out of her kid's books & I inherited these ... great! The stories are fun, quick moving, and the plot links along the books. I absolutely love the drawings - they are like old etchings, with a dash of weirdo faeries & Dr. Seuss-like contraptions. Maybe a little too non-disney with the abrupt deaths and tragedy now & again, if your smallfry don't like their stories with gritty bits. But I enjoyed them!
