Wall Street Journal bestselling author Charlie N. Holmberg returns
to the enchanting world of The Paper Magician.
Alvie Brechenmacher has arrived in London to begin her training in
Polymaking--the magical discipline of bespelling plastic. Polymaking is
the newest form of magic, and in a field where there is so much left to
learn, every Polymaker dreams of making the next big discovery.
Even though she is only an apprentice, Alvie is an inventor at heart,
and she is determined to make as many discoveries--in as short a time
frame--as she can. Luckily for her, she's studying under the
world-renowned magician Marion Praff, who is just as dedicated as Alvie
is.
Alvie's enthusiasm reinvigorates her mentor's work, and together they
create a device that could forever change Polymaking--and the world. But
when a rival learns of their plans, he conspires to steal their
invention and take the credit for it himself.
To thwart him, Alvie will need to think one step ahead. For in the
high-stakes world of magical discovery, not everyone plays fair...
