This book begins the epic Wingfeather Saga (my username? get it? i'm so obsessed!). The three Igiby children's lives were fairly quiet, until their dog got in a fight with one of the evil Fangs in town. Their lives are totally changed and they begin to find out the truth about themselves. This book isn't as tense as the rest of the series, but provides a wonderful introduction to the world of Aeirweir. Sadly, this book doesn't get a lot of attention, even though it's sooooooo good. Beware the toothy cows! (totally serious.)

But they will need all their gifts and all that they love to survive the evil pursuit of the venomous Fangs of Dang, who have crossed the dark sea to rule the land with malice. The Igibys hold the secret to the lost legend and jewels of good King Wingfeather of the Shining Isle of Anniera.
