Fantasy is a genre we never get tired of. It is a favorite of many as it is magical and takes us to a completely new world. When we watch a fantasy movie or read a book of the same, we long to be a part of it and escape our mundane everyday lives. We wish to leave our grey reality behind and go through the portal to enter the vibrant and magical place that is depicted in the fable.
The Wingfeather Saga is perfect for introducing your young one to fantasy. Though it targets the 9-15-year-old audience, people of all ages and from all walks of life can enjoy this remarkable series. The book series has four parts and is written by Andrew Peterson, an American singer and author. Angel Studios have turned the books into an animated series which is produced by Andrew Peterson himself.
The synopsis of the story is given here so that readers can get an idea about the series. A certain evil has taken over the land of Aerwiar, namely the Gnag, the Nameless One, and his notorious Fangs of Dang, which are wicked creatures that look similar to humans except that they have green scales and tails and are venomous.
The story revolves around a single family, the Igibys, which consists of three children Janner, Tink, and Leeli, with their mother, Nia, a former pirate grandfather Podo and their faithful dog, Nugget. Though they live an ordinary life, the children soon come to realize that they aren’t ordinary at all.
Through a series of unexpected events, the children attract the attention of Gnag The Nameless and his army of Fangs, forcing their mother and grandfather to reveal the truth. The children are, in reality, the throne warden, future king, and song maiden of a legendary land called Anniera.
The story follows the adventures of this close-knit family and how they overcome the obstacles and dangers blocking their path to finally seize their true destiny.
The Wingfeather Saga episode 2 recap
The name of the second episode of The Wingfeather Saga is “A Mysterious Map”. The episode starts with a murder of crows flying in the sky with the mission to deliver a message to Commander Gnorm, a Fang. When the Fang receives it, he reads it out loud, and it says, “Prepare to march”. Back in the Igiby household, the kids are under house arrest for safety because of the Fang menace in the countryside.
It’s a rainy night, and the children are playing inside the house hence, not allowing Grandpa Podo to do his work in peace. He exasperatedly stated to Nia that they had been in lockdown for two weeks and that it was time for the kids to get out of the house. He told Nia that he was going to town the next day and that he was taking the children with him so that they could play a game of Zibzy with their friends.
In the next scene, we see Commander Gnorm summoning his Fangs outside. He tells the Fangs that they need to impress General Khrak so that their next assignment is Torrborro. He dismisses everyone except one Fang, Slarb, to whom he tells that he is on carriage duty as the Black Carriage comes to Glipwood that very night.
Meanwhile, the children start playing Zibzy with their friends, where the loser has to eat a bowl of Boggleworms. Grandpa Podo goes to a shop where he tells the shopkeeper that he wants the “Torrborro special,” and she tells him the news about what the Fangs had planned earlier that day. She knew all this information because she was spying on the Fangs.
During their game of Zibzy, the ball goes to the forest, and Janner volunteers to retrieve it, and there, in the forest, he meets Peet The Sock Man. The next day, Janner and Tink go to the library to help Mr. Reteep. It is over there that Tink finds a mysterious map hidden away, which the kids take home secretly.
