I just read the book Stormchaser, from the series The Edge Chronicles. The book is about Twig, a creature from the Deepwoods, looking with his father, Quintinius Verginix (a sky pirate) for the sacred substance of Stormphrax. To find Stormphrax, one must enter deeply into a Great Storm. A Great Storm only comes once every two or three years, so if you miss it even by the faintest minute, you have failed. To get to the Great Storm, Twig and his father must sail high in the sky ship, Stormchaser, to hunt it down. Stormphrax is needed in the town of Sanctaphrax to weigh it down, and also in Undertown to create Phraxdust. A single speck of Phraxdust will purify even the dirtiest of waters. Will Twig and his father succeed, or will the Great Storm swallow them whole? This is a great book for extreme fantasy lovers. I recommend this book to kids ages eleven through thirteen. Can you handle the suspense, or will you get swallowed up too?
