"Strong themes of friendship and loyalty drive Lloyd's story, which
soars under Mallie's heroic lead [whose] physical disability never
holds her back. Rather, she bravely proves that questions have
power and one's story can be reshaped." -Booklist, starred review
Twelve-year-old Mallie knows better than to dream. In Coal Top, you
live the story you're given: boys toil in the mines and girls work
as servants. Mallie can't bear the idea of that kind of life, but
her family is counting on her wages to survive.It wasn't always
this way. Before the Dust came, the people of Coal Top could weave
starlight into cloth. They'd wear these dreaming clothes to sleep
and wake up with the courage to seek adventure . . . or the peace
to heal a broken heart. But now nothing can penetrate Coal Top's
blanket of sorrow.So when Mallie is chosen for a dangerous
competition in which daring (and ideally, orphaned) children train
flying horses, she jumps at the chance. Maybe she'll change her
story. Maybe she'll even find the magic she needs to dream
again.But the situation proves even more dangerous when Mallie
uncovers a sinister mystery at the heart of Coal Top's struggles --
a mystery some powerful people will do anything to protect.
