The Edge of Everywhen
by
A unique middle-grade novel, The Edge of Everywhen tells the story of Piper, a 13-year-old self-proclaimed book nerd whose world has been upended after the death of her mother. She and her autistic little brother (and best friend) Phoenix cling to one another as they are forced to move a thousand miles away from everything familiar and live with their rich, estranged aunt.
Piper reaches to the books on her shelf for comfort, but it is one unique book, Novus Fabula, who offers true guidance as the omniscient narrator in the story. It watches them arrive at their aunt’s home, with tired hearts and stones in their stomachs, and now its whispered voice must point the children to depend upon the sovereignty of God during the most dire times as they await word of their missing father.
“What’s that you say? Books cannot speak? On the contrary, dear Reader. Quite the contrary. Books are one of the few things on this earth that truly speak, from the moment the first word is penned until the book’s last Reader has drawn their final breath.
Let me show you.”—Novus Fabula
Full of mystery and intrigue, The Edge of Everywhen story bridges the chasm between faith-based and fantasy kid-lit genres. It is a book-lover’s book, carrying the reader right into the adventure as Piper and Phoenix embark upon a life-changing journey, in search of their father and of a faith to call their own.

My Thoughts:
The Edge of EveryWhen is a captivating book that will capture the heart of children and tweens alike. This book is perfect for fun adult read as well. I love going on an adventure with Piper and Phoenix. This book is unique in the sense that Phoenix has autism and the reader hear his voice throughout the book ,which I believe is so important. I love the message of faith through this book and find that this book has multiple faith message to convey to the reader at their level. This book reminded me of the Chronicles of Narnia, which I love. I cannot wait to read the sequel! Grab a copy today, you will not be disappointed in this book.
