4-6Edge Chronicles series.
Young Twig leaves his forest home after discovering he was adopted. In the "dark and deeply mysterious" Deep Woods, he encounters many mystical creatures before meeting his natural father--a sky pirate. Stormchaser describes Twig's own adventures aboard a sky ship. The episodic narratives are overlong, but the writing is strong and the detailed, often grotesque illustrations perfectly suit the text. Review covers these Edge Chronicles titles: Beyond the Deepwoods and Stormchaser.
