Howl’s Moving Castle meets Neil Gaiman in this “dark and
flinty” (Booklist) middle grade fantasy, set in a world as
mesmerizing as it is menacing, following children on a quest to
save their father who get embroiled in the sinister agendas of
rival sorcerers. In an unkind alternate past, somewhere between the
Stone Age and a Metal Age, Tell and his sister Wren live in a small
mountain village that makes its living off black glass mines and
runs on brutal laws. When their father is blinded in a mining
accident, the law dictates he has thirty days to regain his sight
and be capable of working at the same level as before or be put to
death. Faced with this dire future, Tell and Wren make the
forbidden treacherous journey to the legendary city of Halfway,
halfway down the mountain, to trade their father’s haul of the
valuable black glass for the medicine to cure him. The city, ruled
by five powerful female sorcerers, at first dazzles the siblings.
But beneath Halfway’s glittery surface seethes ambition,
violence, prejudice, blackmail, and impending chaos. Without
knowing it, Tell and Wren have walked straight into a sorcerers’
coup. Over the next twelve days, they must scramble first to save
themselves, then their new friends, as allegiances shift and
prejudices crack open to show who has true power.
