Read this captivating adventure by Jonathan Auxier, New York Times
bestselling author of The Night Gardener.
It's been two years since Peter Nimble and Sir Tode rescued the kingdom
of HazelPort. In that time, they have traveled far and wide in search of
adventure. Now they have been summoned by Professor Cake for a new
mission: To find a twelve-year-old bookmender named Sophie Quire.
Sophie knows little beyond the four walls of her father's bookshop,
where she repairs old books and dreams of escaping the confines of her
dull life. But when a strange boy and his talking cat/horse companion
show up with a rare and mysterious book, she finds herself pulled into
an adventure beyond anything she has ever read.
