Checking Availibility...Description
From Jonathan Auxier, the New York Times bestselling and award-winning author of The Night Gardener and Sweep, comes the next adventure in The Vanished Kingdom series for readers 8 to 12 -- about a clever bookmender whose life is turned upside down when she's sent on a mission to save stories and storybooks across the Wide World. Now with a newly designed cover!
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 12-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.
