Description: "A slightly different version of this work was originally published in 2015 in Great Britain by Bloomsbury Publishing Plc."
Brief description: Katherine Rundell is the author of Rooftoppers, Cartwheeling in Thunderstorms (a Boston Globe-Horn Book Award winner), The Wolf Wilder, The Explorer, The Good Thieves, The Zebra's Great Escape, and the #1 New York Times bestseller Impossible Creatures and its sequels. She grew up in Zimbabwe, Brussels, and London, and is currently a Fellow of All Souls College, Oxford. She begins each day with a cartwheel and believes that reading is almost exactly the same as cartwheeling: it turns the world upside down and leaves you breathless. In her spare time, she enjoys walking on tightropes and trespassing on the rooftops of Oxford colleges.
Review Quotes: "A triumph! Exciting, moving, highly original, fierce, completely convincing. The world had better watch out. I don't really know what a cocked hat is, but you'll be knocking all the rest of us into one soon. I loved the characters, the speed, the force of it all."--Philip Pullman, author of The Golden Compass
