BRBC week 11: Fingap Falls

Good day, readers! This segment of North! Or Be Eaten (chapters 8-14) was intense, wasn’t it? The gargan rockroach, the trolls and Fangs, the spray of the falls, Podo’s and Nugget’s scenes in chapter 14… whew. There were several moments I wish we could’ve read together, but I settled on this one below. It combines tension, […]

The All About Wingfeather review

All About Learning Press, a spelling and reading curriculum company, created a library checklist and review for the Wingfeather Saga this spring. Here’s what they’ve got to say about North! Or Be Eaten, which we just started reading in the book club.

BRBC week 10: Sounds in the forest

Welcome to the first week of North! Or Be Eaten! I picked the following excerpt for the delicious onomatopoeic leaf sounds. Every time I read it, I can hear them. His thoughts were interrupted by a strange sound in the forest. Janner peered into the trees, wondering if it was his imagination. After weeks in Glipwood […]

BRBC week 8: A protector

We’re used to Peet being jittery, jumpy, jumbled in thought and in speech. Look at him now. Anklejelly Manor had been frightening enough during the day. Now it was deep night, with a horde of Fangs fast approaching. The forest wall loomed an arrowshot away, teeming with unseen creatures that would put fear even into […]

Carson’s minifigs

Those of you who’ve finished the Wingfeather books know that at at the end of the series there was a little cleaning up to do in the library. Well, we’re still finding things we had thought were lost, and today’s post includes one of them. Meet Carson, who back in 2013 was twelve years old […]

BRBC week 7: Heavy with dread

We’re getting toward the end of the first book. In earlier parts of the story it’s easy to imagine that things will work themselves out. But as the story winds down, the Igibys’ fears—of the Black Carriage, of Gnag the Nameless, of whatever secret the Jewels carry—are beginning to be real. This excerpt is a […]
