Welcome, dear reader, to the official site for the Wingfeather Saga.
What’s the Wingfeather Saga?
It’s a series of four fantasy-adventure novels about the three Igiby children, Janner, Kalmar, and Leeli. At the beginning of the story Janner is twelve, Kalmar (who’s nickname is Tink) is eleven, and their little sister Leeli is nine. They’re accompanied by Leeli’s dog Nugget, their mother Nia, and their ex-pirate grandfather Podo Helmer.
They live in a world called Aerwiar, which is exactly like our world–except they don’t have electricity or gunpowder, and there are all sorts of creepy animals, like sea dragons and toothy cows. Janner, the eldest, is about to discover that the ordinary little town where they live is anything but ordinary. In fact, he and his family are at the center of a great mystery that will change their lives forever.
I hope you’ll get your hands on a copy of the book and join the adventure. But beware of the toothy cows. They’re horrifying.

When is The Warden and the Wolf King coming out?
I LOVE YOUR BOOKS! i just finished the 3rd one a week ago and now I’m in agony to know how it ends! i think my 2 favorite characters were Artham P. Wingfeather and Leeli Wingfeather. please make sure the 3 wingfeather heirs meet up with Gnag the nameless. i’m dying to know who he is! though i think he’s ouster will’s great, great, great, great, great, great, great, gggggrrrrreeeeaaaaaaaattttttttt grandson cause there’s info to prove it, (or at least BIG coincidences,) like the dragon Yurgen took 2 pebbles of holore to heal his son because OUSTER WILL tricked him, and that traiter Bonifer said that “if he can make an army of fangs with but TWO of the stones” so maybe he took the pebbles from Yurgen. also, Bonifer said that Gnag was HUMAN. and last but not least, there was scary tales about Ouster Will because he betrayed his father and the maker and decided to go to the dark side.
I have officially decided: These are the best books on the planet! I did once make up a story about me being a throne warden….. it was really fun. Especially me pretending to have a sword. I used sticks. It was really fun!
So I’m finishing up On The Edge and have one question that is bothering me. Nugget. Nugget died, and comes back as a bigger Nugget? My wife told me (or spoiled) that the same thing is alluded to for Podo. I’m usually not the kind to nitpick but it seems a big deal when considering what you’re telling readers. Help me understand this NOT as reincarnation because I can’t find a way around thinking that’s what you’re saying.
MAY ANIERIA BE FOREVER RISEN FROM THE ASHES!!!

Your books are incredible the perfect mixture of fanasty and reality!I love every single character in them but my favorite two are the Throne Wardens.Long Live Aweiar!P.S.DO NOT KILL ARTHAM OR JANNER OR ANYBODY!(except for the bad guys!)
I love The Monster in the Hollows!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! When is the fourth book coming out?
Awesome books!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! When is the fourth book coming out?
Dear Mr. Peterson Sir,
Words cannot describe what these books mean to me. I am so grateful that there is something out there that is beautifully written, creative, but not a typical stupid teen fiction novel (Ugh). I am actually good friends with many people from TLC, so that’s cool, and I sent my book with a friend to be signed.
Heh heh. You are so amazing, and even if some people say otherwise, I am your BIGGEST fan. For real.
I never thought I could love something as much as I love Lewis and Tolkien, but… you have made that possible.
I love the series so much that I am building Glipwood in a game called Minecraft. I hope it turns out well!
In two weeks i spent most of my free time reading these books. yah, its too bad they only lasted two weeks. but now i’m reliving the story because i’m reading them to my younger brother! These books are awesome!
Just finished Hollows last night; this is without a doubt in my top 5 favorite books/series of all time. I really need to try your music if your stories are this epic! I laughed, I cried, I balled up with tension & suspense, but best of all I feel like I got to get to know a new facet of our amazing Father in heaven through the incredibly imaginative, beautiful and real descriptions of strength, love, and mercy. I feel like these characters are my family now and I was SO GLAD to realize at the end that there would be one more! I wish I’d know about the audio versions (I knit while I’m reading-and since I can’t put either down, that sure would make it easier
I think when my daughter gets older we will definitely start the Wingfeather tradition of reading them aloud! You, sir, are a master and I love you.
These are my all-time favorite books. I’m soooooooo excited for the Throne Warden and the Wolf King, but that’s going to be the last book? I wish they would go on forever!
Mr. Peterson, I love your books! I enjoy staying up at night reading them, even when in the morning I am tired and sore. In less than a week I finished “The Monster in the Hollows,” and loved it! I actually cried during some of it…please visit my website, “iggyfings.blogspot.com” and do you recognize the name??
It is all about your amazing series and Peet the Sock Man, my fav character!! I want to be a writer when i’m older, just like you, and you give me so much inspiration for MY own series!! God bless you and your family!!
Hey, thanks for all the magnificent books you have published! I thoroughly enjoyed them all! Me and some friends have decided to attempt making a movie based on the first book! We are homeschoolers so we do have time on our hands!
I absolutely love your books!!! Your vivid descriptions and active writing really make it come alive! I feel like I’m in the midst of it all; even though my eyes are on the words, I don’t see them. I don’t even hear what’s going on around me! I feel like I’m right there – I can hear Leeli’s songs, the clash of swords, and the fangs’ cruel laughter; I can see the sweat on Janner’s brow, the worry on Nia’s face, and the crooked smile on the Oversear’s lips. Thanks so much for writing these amazing books!!! I can’t wait for the next one!
I (like generally everyone else who comments) love your books. I usually read books above my level to challenge myself, but I can not belive the work you have done in your books. Thanks!
B (I’m almost as old as Janner, so it’s easy to identify with him=)
I LOVE your series!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Totally can’t wait for The Warden and the Wolf King!! I am eternally grateful to my friend for letting me borrow them! If it wasn’t for her, I probably would never have read them, because out of all of the Kootenai Shoshone area libraries, not one of them has the series!!!!!!! But anyway, thank you so much for the Wingfeather Saga!! I loved King Esben for the short time I knew him!!
I totally love the wingfeather books they are amazing. I can’t wait to read more.
Is it possible for Tink to be transformed back to a human? I like bolth ways though
I was the same age as Janner last year and my sister was the same as Leeli.
I love Artham in fact my favorite part in the whole series (so far) is when Janner see’s him coming to rescue them with that wild look in his eyes saying Protect,Protect,Protect!
Not to rush you but I CAN”T STAND ANOTHER HOUR OF WAITING FOR THE WARDEN AND THE WOLFKING!
your are very Adventurous and daring. I just want say your books are really good!I also like your music!
Your books are the very best books I have ever read! They are very Adventurous and daring. I just want say your books are really good!I also like your music!
Hello! This summer my husband and daughters fairly raced to the family room most evenings for our nightly Wingfeather readings. We devoured all three books and ,thank you very much, but now our evenings are left wanting! We NEED the 4th book! After stalking the Rabbit Room for the past couple of months, I stumbled upon this here little site and so I must ask if there is any idea of when it might be released? If it is not going to be for a while, please let me know so I can put my children out of their misery (and my own since they ask me regularly for news — as if I’m somehow in the loop with “the” Andrew Peterson! Thank you for spinning such wonderful, soulful stories. They are on my gift list for my adventure loving nephews too!
When will the third book be available on B&N e-book?
I’m a reader and a writer, and a Wingfeather fan! Your books make Aerwiar come alive. Aerwiar is the world of my dreams, the places where my imagination flies. The words on the pages of The Wingfeather Saga make me believe with all my heart that the characters, places, and creatures of Skree and Beyond are as real as the sun and as lifelike as the sky is blue. I just read North! Or be Eaten and I’ve fallen in love with the characters and can’t wait to read more! I think Peet is my favorite character of all. And my second favorite, Nugget and Leeli.
When books make me laugh and cry, and let my imagination fly, when I’m surprised, worried, angry, sad, or joyful, and all these emotions combined, just from reading words, I know that this truly is great literature.
I really like Peet. Whenever he’s in great peril, I worry as if the world was going to end, or worse, my cat was going to die. Yay, Artham!
I love your books. So much so that I’m up way past my bedtime every night because I can’t put my book down.
The part in North! Or Be Eaten with the Grey Fangs, Black box and horrible music really creeped me out. Then Artham saved the day! Yay! Will Tink ever get back to normal?
Can’t wait to read more!!!!
Write on!

Great series!!!
I love your books! They are so funny and well written! I have the first two and I’m hoping to get the third one soon.
As of 12:16pm yesterday I am a grandpa. Being my family loves this book series and A.Peterson, as well as the fact I am an amputee….I will be going by the name “Podo”!
My twin and I love the stories! I haven’t finished the Hollows yet, but I love it. I often have dreams about the characters and ESPECIALLY Artham
He is my favorite. I sketched a picture of him, but he looks like Leeli in a Halloween costume, (dont tell him i said so) I live 30 mins from Nashville, TN!
And just to say: PLEASE dont kill off Artham (if you haven’t already :/ ). If you make him die, I will die. And I hope you get a space yacht. -Lily
Well I think I’ve figured out who Gnag is, but I haven’t found anyone who’s finished the books to discuss it with! I’m gnawing off my own arm over here. Is there no forum?
I’m going to have to mentally prepare myself for “The Warden and the Wolf King”…
I fight for Anneria! Long live the Shining Isle!
ALL OF YOUR BOOKS ARE AMAZING!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I love this series.Finished North!Or be Eaten in 3 hours,and Im only 9.Love ‘em.Favorite is Artham.
I can answer your question! Bonifer was the monster.
In “The Monster in the Hollows” who was the Monster: Esben the bear, Kalmar, or Bonifer?
I absolutely adore the Wingfeather Saga! My boyfriend loves listening to me read your hilarious, warm and descriptive stories. I am greatly anticipating the 3rd installment to see what this family will do next!
Incredible imagination! How do you come up with some of these details. They leave me laughing! Brilliant! I bought the first book in alittle used book shop in a dinky little town, because the title just fascinated me! Can’t wait for the next installment! Must know what becomes of Tink!!!
I love the books
My sister got them for Christmas and I often steal them and take them to read at ballet.
My whole family can’t wait for the next book!!!!
Just finished “North or Be Eaten”. So glad we can look forward to “Monster in the Hollows”. I am glad you have these stories buzzing in your head. They are buzzing in ours now.

I have purchased both books for my kindle and the audio version of the first. But can’t find the audio book for the second and now on Audible, the first book’s audio edition is gone! Dang the Fangs! What is going on?
