In order to survive on her own, twelve-year-old Rooney de Barra
collects precious moonlight, which she draws from the evening sky
with her (very rare and most magical) lunar mirror. All the while
she tries to avoid the rival roughhouse boys, and yet another, more
terrifying danger: the dreaded thing that's been disappearing
children in the night. When Trick Aidan, the worst of the
roughhouse boys, steals her lunar mirror, Rooney will do whatever
it takes to get it back. Even if it means leaping into a pool of
darkness after it swallows Trick and her mirror. Or braving the
Plentiful Darkness, a bewitching world devoid of sky and stars. Or
begrudgingly teaming up with Trick to confront the magician and
unravel the magic that has trapped Warybone's children.
A dark, compelling fantasy for readers of The Graveyard Book about
a mysterious girl seeking the truth about the magic that brought
her to life. Made of dust and bone and imagination, Irreelle fears
she's not quite real. Only the finest magical thread tethers her to
life-and to Miss Vesper. But for all her efforts to please her
cruel creator, the thread is unravelling. Irreelle is forgetful as
she gathers bone dust. She is slow returning from the dark passages
beneath the cemetery. Worst of all, she is unmindful of her crooked
bones. When Irreelle makes one final, unforgivable mistake by
destroying a frightful creature just brought to life, Miss Vesper
threatens to imagine her away once and for all. Defying her creator
for the very first time, Irreelle flees to the underside of the
graveyard and embarks on an adventure to unearth the mysterious
magic that breathes bones to life, even if it means she will return
to dust and be no more. With echoes of Neil Gaiman's The Graveyard
Book and Jonathan Auxier's The Night Gardener, debut author Heather
Kassner crafts a gorgeously written story humming with magic,
mystery, and dark imaginings.
A dark, compelling fantasy from the author of The Bone Garden for
readers of Neil Gaiman's Coraline. Left all alone after her mother
passes away, twelve-year-old Louisa watches the sky for her father.
Long ago, a powerful gust of wind stole him away on the wings of
his untamed magic-the same magic that stirs within Louisa. As if
she is made of hollow bones and too much air, her feet never quite
touch the ground. But for all her sky gazing, Louisa finds her
fortune on the ground when she spots a ticket to the Carnival
Beneath the Stars. If her father fits in nowhere else, maybe she'll
find him dazzling crowds alongside the other strange feats. Yet
after she arrives, a tightrope act ends disastrously-and
suspiciously. As fate tugs Louisa closer to the stars, she must
decide if she's willing to slip into the injured performer's role,
despite the darkness plucking at the carnival's magical threads.
