Offering some information but referring to things and books we often didn’t know anyway. As an adult I found them particularly uninteresting to read as they felt very dry in tone. Footnotes are an acquired taste in adult fiction so to put something like that in a middle grade book is daring to say the least. I do not recall having seen footnotes in middle grade before. One of the first things that struck me about this book is the use of footnotes. As well as the themes of sacrifice, faithfulness etc and the squeaky clean nature of it all. But more than that there are a lot of references to the maker (but no religion of specifics mentioned). The start of the book starts with the creation and that screamed Adam and Eve to me. While the religion is not mentioned at all it is clear that it does take from the Christian religion. On the Edge can be considered a Christian fiction. Unfortunately it just could not quite live up to it. Oh I had such high hopes for this rereleased middle grade. The Igibys hold the secret to the lost legend and jewels of good King Wingfeather of the Shining Isle of Anniera. But they will need all their gifts and all that they love to survive the evil pursuit of the venomous Fangs of Dang, who have crossed the dark sea to rule the land with malice. Janner Igiby, his brother, Tink, and their disabled sister, Leeli, are gifted children as all children are, loved well by a noble mother and ex-pirate grandfather.
