"This expertly crafted story thrums with magic, love, and tense
action." --Booklist (starred review) on The Memory Thief
Perfect for fans of The Girl Who Drank the Moon, this New York
Times bestselling and "inventive, bewitching" (Kirkus Reviews, on
The Sea of Always) trilogy from critically acclaimed author Jodi Lynn
Anderson follows a girl who must defeat thirteen evil witches.
Twelve-year-old Rosie Oaks's mom is missing whatever it is that makes
mothers love their daughters. All her life, Rosie has known this and
turned to stories for comfort. Then, on the night Rosie decides to throw
her stories away forever, an invisible ally helps her discover the
Witch Hunter's Guide to the Universe, a book that claims that all the
evil in the world stems from thirteen witches who are unseen...but
unstoppable. One of these witches--the Memory Thief--holds an insidious
power to steal our most precious treasures: our memories. And it is this
witch who has cursed Rosie's mother.
In her quest to save her mom--and with her wild, loyal friend "Germ" by
her side--Rosie will find the layers hidden under the reality she only
thought she knew: where ghosts linger as shades of the past, where
clouds witness the world, and a ladder dangles from the moon leading to
something bigger and more. Here, words are weapons against the darkness,
and witch hunters are those brave enough to wield their imaginations in
the face of the unthinkable. The knowledge of her beloved stories is an
arsenal in this world, but to unlock their power, Rosie must dare to
have hope and believe in herself in the face of daunting odds. But can
one girl truly hope to eliminate forces that have been at work for
centuries?
