The Edge Chronicles 7: The Last of the Sky Pirates: First Book of Rook

Set between the first and second ages of flight, The Last Of The Sky pirates is Incredible. The main character is a boy called Rook, who I seemed to know immediately. Rook is a Librarian knight apprentice who is picked to travelling to the free glades. There he embarks in his treatise voyage, on which he meets the LAST sky pirate. But his adventures are only just beginning.

This series never disappoints! Absolutely gripping from start to finish. Can't help but get attached to these fantastic characters. Couldn't stop reading

I bought this for my 10 year old grandson who absolutely loves these books. He is forever reading now and says the stories are fantastic. A very good purchase. Highly recommended

After finally getting it, Paul Stewart & Chris Riddell live up to their previous quality of work. Both a well thought out story line and exquisite illustration help to bring this book to life!

Excellent read delivered promptly

Love this story, read them all.

This was one of the best edge chronicles I have read. I won't of recommend it to most 11 year olds.

Superb writing and illustrating. A must read series for young and old.

Great book in a great series.

This series is amazing-- I love it! The author/illustrator collaboration is really special. I even ordered two books from the United Kingdom Amazon because they won't be published here for a few more months. :)A caution: some of the Edge Chronicles are very dark/have imagery which may be too disturbing for young readers. (For example, an earlier book features a serial killer who chops off the toes of his victims and keeps them in a massive pile! Yikes! A chilling moment for readers.) This book is the first of 3 volumes which follow the story of Rook Barkwater, a young librarian knight. The Rook Barkwater books seemed less disturbing to me than some of the earlier books. They are really enjoyable, full of endearing characters and heroism. So... if your kids are old enough, you may really enjoy reading the Edge Chonicles together.

Great series! Wont post any spoilers will simply say this is a great starter series of books to get kids into reading.

My students are enjoying this series

My Grandson hates to read-but loves this series! He gets so "into" the stories he reads for a long time with no complaints!
