Behold the Lamb of God tour 2015

Andrew’s annual Christmas tour starts on Wednesday! This is one of the biggest, funnest things Andrew does every year. He got to meet some of you last year, and we’re both hoping he gets to meet some of you this year, too. Bring along your books (he loves that!), or some drawings (we both love that!). His […]

The Storm

Between Leeli, Janner, and the storm, there’s so much going on in this section. The storm sets my heart thrumming with an old, jubilant song that I love. Leeli had no song in mind. She reached deep into her soul, the music flowering from the rich soil of a hundred tunes she had sung or played over […]

Bonifer Squoon and the Cat Hair of Doom

Last week’s book club reading involved a super creepy scene in Throg. If you’ve read that far, you might be wishing for some way to reassure yourself that you are not in immediate danger from a certain skittering horror. Joe Sutphin has just the thing to redirect your angst. If you haven’t read this far yet, you […]

Living into legend

I have seen the look on this young man’s face when he discovers a new story. Many times I have nearly slipped up to help him and then, at the last second, realized that he needs no help. His face is full of reverence and breathless anticipation. His hands hold a book lightly, as if it might […]

The Chapter House door

If you follow Andrew on Facebook, Twitter, or Instagram, you have already seen this—the latest update on the Chapter House. But in case you haven’t, and because we’re so excited, here are those photos again! In the words of Andrew Peterson (in the captions): Isn’t that door gorgeous? One can imagine stories inside it as […]

The Crags at Castle Rock

Sometimes a song is a weapon, even if you can’t sing very well. So if you need to, sing, and don’t worry about how it sounds. The rain that rakes the ocean span The sun that breaks and warms the land The bows that bound from cliff to cliff The grass that greens the stone […]

Cheesy Chowder

“You’ll be wantin’ some of my cheesy chowder and butterbread, won’t you, my little warriors?” [Podo] said. “It’s been simmering all evening, along with a thousand prayers that ye’d make it back to yer Podo safe and uneaten.” Janner joined Leeli and Tink at the table to gobble down the cheesy chowder. After the day he’d […]

Living Stories

Janner is alone in the dark, in the worst place in the world. He is angry and afraid. He is exhausted. He is near despair. And there is a traitor in his own heart, too. But is he alone? Protect. The word came to him again and again, as steady as a drum beat. Indeed, it had […]

Costumes!

Several creative young readers put together awesome Wingfeather costumes for Halloween this year. It’s so fun to see you guys get into the series and see yourselves in the characters. And we love the costumes! Here’s a smattering of photos for you all to enjoy along with whatever candy you still have left. (For more […]

The cloven and the boy

This scene is heartbreaking. It makes me long to know that what Artham said so long ago—“Things will be made right”—is true. Knowing the end of the tale doesn’t make this scene less sad, but it does make my heart burn. (My eyes, too.) From behind an old log, two stems rose, each of which […]
