From Booklist
*Starred Review* Gr. 4-6.The second volume in the Edge Chronicles series, Stormchaseris a rousing adventure tale with a story that's more complex andsatisfying than its predecessor, Beyond the Deepwoods [BKLJl 2004]. Sanctophrax, a city of academics that floats in the airabove Undertown, threatens to break from its mooring and drift awaybecause the corrupt Most High Academe has been selling off therare, valuable, and strangely heavy substance called stormphrax.Although forbidden to accompany his father on a mission to securemore stormphrax, Twig stows away aboard his father's sky pirateship and takes a pivotal role in completing the mission. With amurderous villain who slices off his dead victims' toes, the storyis not for the fainthearted, but many young readers who craveaction and enjoy long books will find it a riveting tale. Stewartmanages the many characters and the frequent shifts of scene well,driving the story at full throttle toward its inevitable climax.Reminiscent of the ink drawings of illustrators from Pauline Baynesto Robert Lawson to Dr. Seuss, Riddell's wonderfully detailed artappears throughout the book to help readers envision this inventivefantasy world and the many strange creatures that inhabit it.Carolyn Phelan
