Winner of the American Book Award (now known as the National Book
Award) An ALA Best of the Best Books for Young Adults A School
Library Journal Best Book of the Year When Theo agrees to print a
traveling showman's pamphlet, he only thinks of the money it will
bring in. Instead, it sets off a chain reaction that results in the
smashing of the press and the murder of his master. Caught on the
wrong side of the law, Theo must flee the city. Soon, he has teamed
up with the traveling showman Count Las Bombas (who is actually a
con artist) and his servant. The trio is soon joined by Mickle, a
clever, strong-willed girl with a mysterious past. Performing feats
that astound and amaze, the motley crew falls into a trap set by
Chief Minister Cabbarus, who is determined to wrest power from the
grief-stricken king. Now they must not only save themselves-they
must save the kingdom... This is the first volume in Lloyd
Alexander's classic Westmark trilogy.
