Every secret is a story waiting to happen. From New York
Times–bestselling author Marieke Nijkamp and illustrator Sylvia
Bi, this debut middle grade graphic novel celebrates the power that
everyone—even those often overlooked—has to create change. In a
vibrant city, two girls from very different walks of life join
forces to fight censorship and protect the people they love.
Eleven-year-old Cinzia is a printer’s apprentice. She adores
Mestra Aronne for taking her in—most guilds don’t have room for
apprentices with a crippled leg—and she loves life in the raggedy
workshop that smells of paper and printing, where secrets and
stories are always circulating. So when Mestra Aronne is imprisoned
for publishing accusations against the ruling family, Cinzia will
do anything to prove that Mestra Aronne only told the truth. Elena
is the exact same age as Cinzia, but she’s forced to keep to her
rooms and garden. To protect her, according to her mother. To
protect the city, according to her uncle. Because Elena is not the
charming, powerful noble her family wants her to be. According to
them, she doesn’t communicate well. She’s too gullible and
literal, and struggles to understand other people. After
unexpectedly meeting face-to-face, the girls follow a trail of
clues through their golden city, drawing supporters and learning
more about their home and each other than they ever could have
imagined. If one person—no matter how young—can change the
course of history, just imagine what a whole flock of them could
do. Bestselling author Marieke Nijkamp and debut illustrator Sylvia
Bi have crafted an indelible, vibrant story about finding and using
your voice, perfect for fans of Lightfall, Tidesong, and The Prince
and the Dressmaker.
