A ferocious sea dragon
Thanks, Bridget, for this very frightening sea dragon. The scales! The webbed fins! The spiky crown! The ferocity in its eyes! Very well done. This week, Madame Sidler will be reading chapters 26-29 of The Monster in the Hollows. Check back on Friday for an excerpt, and to share what you’ve been reading! We’ve got two […]

“Can I sit with you?”
This week’s reading includes one of my favorite chapters in The Monster in the Hollows, and this is my favorite part of that chapter. One day as she sat sipping her soup and thinking with pleasure of Janner’s wild ride away from the Fork Factory, she felt someone tap her shoulder. She snapped out of […]

Chimney Hill
This family of three kids spent two months building their very own Chimney Hill out of countless Legos. Koby, Kaelen, and Yeabsera—you guys are amazing. This is incredible, and we love it. For the full tour, scroll down and watch the video. WOW. This week, Madame Sidler will be reading chapters 21-25 in The Monster in the […]

The Durgan Guild: A fellowship of warriors, spies, and fruit-defenders
As one of Olumphia’s fellow guildlings, I shall respectfully decline to comment regarding the hedgerow. But I will say that she is not wrong about the scandal of the fruit fires. I have read, reread, and wept over Riggin Dagorma’s The Wailing Orchards: A Tanjerade Tragedy any number of times. The guildmadam was already striding away, and the […]

Tarry: A Wingfeather Song
A couple of weeks ago, Andrew was involved in a conference called Inkwell, hosted by our allies in imagination over at Story Warren. While there, he met a sweet young lady named Jaiden who sang him a song she’d written based on the story Podo tells his grandkids about meeting their grandmother. She gave us permission […]

The Hollows at Night
This week in the Ban Rona Book Club we read chapters 12-16 of The Monster in the Hollows, and saw more of the beautiful countryside I’m proud to call home. Professor Sidler and I are in one of those other houses with a lamp still burning—reading, of course. Janner didn’t realize how tired he was until his […]

What’s Andrew been up to?
It’s been a little while since we’ve seen Andrew around here, and do you know why? Our author is not just an author—he’s also a songwriter and musician, and he’s been working hard on a new album. If you’d like to peek in on him while he works, put on your Durgan cloak and click […]

Unafraid
It is with great joy that I welcome you today to my home city, Ban Rona. We’ll visit the Great Library in a few weeks—the very best place in Aerwiar! I can’t wait!—but first, glory in the great peace of the city itself. It took Janner a while to realize what was so strange about Ban […]

Two beasts and a birdman
Nathan, then 7, drew these pictures when he and his mom were just starting to read The Monster in the Hollows. Thanks very much for sending these in, Nathan! They’re great. I love the background details, and the smile on that birdman’s face. If you want to zoom in on those details, just click the photos! This […]

Janner and The Dark Sea of Darkness
Welcome to the Great Library of Ban Rona! I’m Madame Sidler, the librarian, and I’m so glad to have you join us. We’re just starting the third book in The Wingfeather Saga. We read chapters 1-6 this week, and it took me all of four pages to decide on an excerpt. Janner took his old friend’s […]
