Book Overview
Now that Miles Wednesday has discovered his link to a magical Tiger's Egg, he's suddenly at the wheel of a great voyage. Determined to recover the stolen stone and free the trapped soul within, Miles sets off with Little, a Song Angel, and the wisecracking blind explorer Baltinglass of Araby. Their destination points far across sea and desert to the home of Miles's aunt Nura, who may be their only hope in releasing the Egg's true power. But along the way, their travels are quickly riddled with thrills and near catastrophes--from soaring across the sky in an airborne schooner to run-ins with the twisted circus ringmaster, the Great Cortado, and his bumbling sidekick, Doctor Tau-Tau. Most threatening is a dark Sleep Angel who's descended from the Realm to seize the Egg and forfeit Miles's life. Will Miles crack the secrets of the Egg and stand up to the Realm in the face of grave danger? And above all, will he ever be able to bring back his father? Jon Berkeley's masterful, witty finale to The Wednesday Tales completes the spectacular adventure of Miles Wednesday and his remarkable search to uncover the secrets of his own identity.

This is the third book in the series and nicely wraps up all of the issues started in book 1 and developed in book 2. I really liked this series...I started it when there were no Harry Potter books to start and I was not disappointed....great characters, both the "good guys" and the "bad guys", and I loved the whole story of Little and how she fit in to this world. It is sort of a combination of "Series of Unfortunate Events" because of the style of the narration and the awful things that happen to Miles with a little Peter Pan because of Little and Miles's relationship and a touch of Harry Potter with the whole wonderful world that is developed around these characters. I pictured a little of "James and the Giant Peach" as the characters formed in my mind, too...but the sum of all of it is very original, and I think it is a really fun read. I highly recommend this series!

I would have liked to know that I was not going to get book 2, and still have not read this one. If it is as good as the forst one I am sure I will enjoy it!
