Unlike some other reproductions of classic texts (1) We have not
used OCR(Optical Character Recognition), as this leads to bad
quality books with introduced typos. (2) In books where there are
images such as portraits, maps, sketches etc We have endeavoured to
keep the quality of these images, so they represent accurately the

imperfections with these old texts, we feel they deserve to be made
available for future generations to enjoy.
Grey Haward has always detested the Chemists, the
magicians-come-scientists who rule her small western town. But she
has always followed the rules, taking the potion the Chemists
ration out that helps the town's people survive. A potion that Grey
suspects she-like her grandfather and father-may not actually need.
By working at her grandfather's repair shop, sorting the small
gears and dusting the curio cabinet inside, Grey has tried to stay
unnoticed-or as unnoticed as a tall, strong girl can in a town of
diminutive, underdeveloped citizens. Then her best friend, Whit, is
caught by the Chemists' enforcers after trying to protect Grey one
night, and after seeing the extent of his punishment, suddenly
taking risks seems the only decision she can make. But with the
risk comes the reality that the Chemists know her family's secret,
and the Chemists soon decide to use her for their own purposes.
Panicked, Grey retreats to the only safe place she knows-her
grandfather's shop. There, however, a larger secret confronts her
when her touch unlocks the old curio cabinet in the corner and
reveals a world where porcelain and clockwork people are real.
There, she could find the key that may save Whit's life and also
end the Chemists' dark rule forever. Chemists' dark rule forever.
