The Edge Chronicles Series

(1 review)

The Edge Chronicles are the internationally best-selling illustrated fantasy series created by Paul Stewart and Chris Riddell, selling over 3 million copies in more than 20 languages around the world. 

All the books in this series are stand-alone titles, so you can read them in any order you like. That said, it is worth mentioning that the books are split into four main trilogies which each saga focusing on a main character and period of time, defined by the technology used to travel by air. The series also includes additional books related to the universe.

Spanning more than six hundred years with all of the trilogies' main characters related to one another, the stories of The Edge Chronicles take place in the fictional world of The Edge, a vast cliff with no apparent bottom. Here readers will be drawn into a land of magical beings, from woodtrolls and sky pirates to cloud eaters and toe-takers. 

This is a truly brilliant series to read if you're looking for something similar to DiscworldHarry Potter and Nevermoor. Do also check out our blog post on the Best Magical and Fantasy Series for 11 and 12 year olds.
