The best fantasy story for children by far!

Could not sleep for want of finishing this book. The narrator was captivating! Every chapter ends in a cliff hanger! I loved the themes of bravery, duty, family, good that shines in the midst of evil. I am buying the whole Saga!

Witty, beautiful, and deeply insightful

I am a father of three young children who are not yet old enough for the Wingfeather Saga. Nevertheless, I have fallen in love with the series myself. From the outset, one learns that Peterson's writing style is witty. As the series progresses, movingly beautiful moments brought tears to my eyes. Peterson writes (and performs) eloquently with deep insight, plumbing the depths of human experience to communicate deep truths - truths with which adults must also wrestle. Amidst the brokenness, we can find beauty and hope.

captivating

I couldn't stop listening to this. The narration was excellent! I am a 57 year old woman, who got this for my 10 year old and 6 year old grandchildren but I started to listen and couldn't stop. I will listen again with them. This story helps me in my faith walk, this is how I think. As Christians we are in a world full of toothy fangs , physically and spiritually. When all hell brakes lose , fighting to destroy us, as servants of Christ, we will always have some sort of divine protection, we won't be taken out of the war but we will be protected and be brought through. I'm so looking forward to the rest of the saga.

Amazing

This book is amazing! It's a great start to an epic saga! Would recommend for ages 8-88 . It is a must read for all bookworms.
