Young Twig lives in the Deepwoods, among the Woodtrolls, but he isn't one of them. In a brave attempt to find out where he belongs, Twig wanders into the mysterious, dangerous world beyond the Deepwoods. He meets a collection of odd companions, such as his wise guardian, the Caterbird; the Slaughterers, a peaceful race who butcher animals for their livelihood; and the vicious, bile-swilling Rotsucker. Always watching out for the horrible Gloamglozer, whose presence haunts the thoughts of all the inhabitants of The Edge, Twig steadfastly pursues his quest until he discovers his roots, not among the trees, but in the skies. . . .

This series was one of my absolute favourite during junior school. Though I may have been reading through nostalgia tinted glasses, I still really enjoyed reading this book. Its light, descriptive, and theres a different adventure in every paragraph. I loved that when I was younger because I was satisfied with reading just a chapter before bed (my mum loved that too, as less nagging was necessary). Chris Riddell is definitely my favourite illustrator. All the pictures are exquisitely detailed and I caught myself spending minutes at a time just staring at them and marveling at them.
