Shortly after book one . . .
The Igibys are safe in a forest hideout . . . but not for long. The Fangs are on their trail, so north they most go. But how can they prevail, when they have to find a way across the Mighty River Blapp, evade the fearsome Stranders, stay hidden in Dugtown, and survive the icy prairies on the way to Kimera? The journey itself is perilous, and with secrets and traitors at every turn, hope may fade. Yet they have no choice if they are to survive.
Here, the series takes a markedly serious turn—the silliness (from book one) is toned down and the suspense continues throughout the whole book with barely a moment to breathe. The story is starting to come into focus, with a powerful message and wisdom accompanying the adventure. Peterson does a good job progressively revealing the reason for some strange things seen in the first volume. I really enjoyed this one.
Rating: A+
