mermaid to find her voice? Hans Christian Andersen's original fairy
tale is reimagined through a searing feminist lens, with the
stunning, scalpel-sharp writing and world building that has won
Louise her legions of devoted fans. A book with the darkest of
undercurrents, full of rage and rallying cries: storytelling at its

The most important rule to follow when you hunt for hat ingredients
is this: keep wildness in your wits and magic in your fingertips.
In Cordelia's London, magic is real and is woven into objects
created by the five Maker families: the Hatmakers, the Bootmakers,
the Watchmakers, the Cloakmakers, and the Glovemakers. Growing up
in her father Prospero's footsteps, eleven-year-old Cordelia
Hatmaker has learned the family's ancient skills and secrets so she
can one day make her own enchanted hats. When Prospero and his ship
are lost at sea during an important ingredient expedition, her
grief-stricken aunt and uncle must turn their attention toward
fulfilling a decree to create a Peace Hat for the king. But
Cordelia refuses to accept that her father is gone for good and
desperately begins making plans to find him. Then, the Peace Hat is
stolen-along with the Peace Boots, Watch, Cloak, and Gloves-and
Cordelia realizes that there is a more menacing plot against the
Makers' Guild, and that Prospero Hatmaker's disappearance may be
connected. Cordelia must uncover the truth about who is behind the
thefts if she is to save the Makers and find out what really
happened to her father. Full of magic, surprise, and adventure,
Tamzin Merchant's sparkling debut introduces a captivating heroine
and her extraordinary world.
