Description:
Praise for Neversink: "Wolverton debuts with a whimsical fantasy that does for Arctic waterfowl what the Redwall series did for woodland creatures. The author is a natural storyteller, giving readers a charmingly wry, offbeat tale that draws on mythology and intersperses a good amount of information about Arctic wildlife amid the story's humor." - Publishers Weekly "With history and myths reminiscent of Norse sagas, Neversink and its feathered denizens impart lessons in power, leadership and the role of "stories" in the guise of a fantasy adventure. An unexpected hero and his amusing, devoted helpers entertain and inspire." - Kirkus Reviews "A gripping high-seas adventure packed with action, magic, and folklore spanning East and West. Fast-paced and entertaining, this fine trilogy opener will keep both fantasy and historical-fiction buffs turning the pages." - Kirkus Reviews "This engaging historical narrative will draw readers in who love stories of adventure and exploration with a strong dose of fantasy." - School Library Journal "Wolverton's story speeds along suspensefully through a history intriguingly different from our own." - Publishers Weekly "A young boy goes off on a sea-faring adventure, but he doesn't know what he's in for. With bone-chilling scenes and heart-stopping action, this is a series you don't want to miss." - Brightly
