Digger Unearthed
Digger Unearthed: The Complete Tenth Anniversary Collection | Ursula Vernon
3 posts | 1 read | 2 to read
The story of a wombat on an incredible journey of discovery Kurt Busiek calls "utterly charming with a delightful (and refreshingly practical) hero." Digger Unearthed is the story of a shrewd, sensible wombat engineer named Digger-of-unnecessarily-convoluted-tunnels, who finds herself stranded in a fantasy world that is far from logical. Thrust into the middle of a puzzling and often perilous situation involving gods, demons, destiny, and redemption, she finds her way based on a pragmatic honesty and the sincere belief in doing the right thing. This tale manages to be both serious and light-hearted: it explores complex themes of honor, responsibility, and the gray areas between right and wrong, but it does so with a frequent application of humor, wit, and absurdity that makes the journey fun. To celebrate its tenth anniversary, Digger Unearthed offers the complete webcomic collection in a single volume that can be fully enjoyed by young adult readers, yet also contains layers of sophistication that become deeper and more meaningful with age and experience.

Digger-of-unnecessarily-convoluted-tunnels, Digger for short, is doing what wombats usually do when she tunnels into a strange world & is thrust into an adventure where there are gods & demons, hyenas & trolls, vampire vegetables, talking slugs & more. Digger, guided by kindness & a deep commitment to doing the right thing, is a fantastic character & navigates this story of destiny, history, & redemption with humor & pragmatism. Loved it.

Read Nettle & Bone and loved it. Then read Swordheart and loved it…and then I decided to start working my way through T. Kingfisher/Vernon‘s backlist. First up, these two—Vernon‘s award winning webcomic, new edition published with a forward by Patrick Rothfuss, and an absolutely delightful sounding middle grade story. The only question is which do I read first?!?
