Here is the book summary:
A unique middle-grade novel, The Edge of Everywhen tells the story of Piper, a 13-year-old self-proclaimed
book nerd whose world has been upended after the death of her mother. She and
her autistic little brother (and best friend) Phoenix cling to one another as
they are forced to move a thousand miles away from everything familiar and live
with their rich, estranged aunt.
Piper reaches to the books on her shelf for comfort, but it
is one unique book, Novus Fabula, who offers true guidance as the omniscient narrator in the
story. It watches them arrive at their aunt’s home, with tired hearts and
stones in their stomachs, and now its whispered voice must point the children
to depend upon the sovereignty of God during the most dire times as they await
word of their missing father.
“What’s
that you say? Books cannot speak? On the contrary, dear Reader. Quite the contrary.
Books are one of the few things on this earth that truly speak, from the moment
the first word is penned until the book’s last Reader has drawn their final
breath.
Let
me show you.”—Novus Fabula
Full of mystery and intrigue, The Edge of Everywhen story bridges
the chasm between faith-based and fantasy kid-lit genres. It is a book-lover’s
book, carrying the reader right into the adventure as Piper and Phoenix embark
upon a life-changing journey, in search of their father and of a faith to call
their own.
And now, my review:
The following is a review through the eyes of a teenager. The Edge of Everywhen gets you into the people. It can be very frightening and sometimes make you shake to your bones. Other times it’s pleasant with your lemonade or hot cocoa in hand as if someone is talking to you. Personally, I think that this book should be for ages 15 or higher because there are war scenes in it. At the beginning of each chapter there is a quote from people, sometimes from the Bible.
Some downsides, in this book they mention other
books including Harry Potter, Narnia, and Lord of the Rings. I don’t like or want to know anything about
Harry Potter because there is nothing Christian about it. They also talk about magic. I don’t like that word unless you’re meaning
Supernatural. They talk about superstition
which isn’t fun to read about either.
The author does have prayer, the Bible, and believers
in there. Along with food, intrigue,
danger, and adventure. So, buckle up for
the strangest ride of your life.
I received a copy of this book in exchange for my
honest review.
