Edgeland
Edgeland | Jake Halpern, Peter Kujawinski
8 posts | 6 read | 11 to read
An upper-middle grade thriller by theNew York TimesbestsellingNightfallauthors perfect for fans of James Dashner s Maze Runner books. Thousands of miles south of the island of Bliss, day and night last for 72 hours. Here is one of the natural wonders of this world: a whirlpool thirty miles wide and a hundred miles around. This is the Drain. Anything sucked into its frothing, turbulent waters is never seen again. Wren has spent most of her life on Edgeland, a nearby island where people bring their dead to be blessed and prepared for the afterlife. There the dead are loaded into boats with treasure and sent over the cliff, and into the Drain. Orphaned and alone, Wren dreams of escaping Edgeland, and her chance finally comes when furriers from the Polar north arrive with their dead, and treasure for their dead. With the help of her friend Alec, Wren plans to loot one of the boats before it enters the Drain. But the boat--with Alec and Wren onboard--is sucked into the whirlpool. What they discover beyond the abyss is beyond what anyone could have imagined."

Thanks to @KateReadsYA for sending me this absolute gem of a book! A surprisingly dark, complex, and meaningful middle grade adventure story I never would have picked up on my own. I‘ll definitely be picking up Nightfall in the near future!

KateReadsYA I love that we are sending each other books we would never pick up otherwise 🖤 1y

This book is going to stay with me for the rest of my life! The feelings it gave me were out of this world. I feel like this book is going to mean different things for different people and that is the beauty of it. I've never read anything like this and I am just shocked by how amazing it is. I will forever recommend this book and I loved it so much.

Talk about being in a reading slump. I've been so slow about my reading lately and I know I'm just busy and also can't really focus! BUT.....I am really liking all the cool details in this tagged book and I am slowing down this week to have more time to focus and read. Hope you all have a good week of reading!

This really is a different sort of ghost 👻 story, one palatable to younger readers but that also challenges them to think about the afterlife and the role of organised religion versus faith. It's creepy too, so kids will love that.

part 2 of yesterday's work: wrapped up edgeland. it was eerie and quick. not life-changing YA, but it was nice to read a non-series and i DO love a book with no romantic subplot.

I liked this a lot more than I thought I would! It's an interesting take on the afterlife and what's necessary to get everyone to move on from purgatory.
