Everyone knew that books were dangerous. Read the wrong book, it was said, and the words crawled around your brain on black legs and drove you mad … In a land where books are considered dangerous, Mosca Mye, an orphan with an all-consuming hunger for words, and her loyal companion (a large homicidal goose) are about to become the unlikely heroes of a revolution …
Mosca Mye and Eponymous Clent are in trouble again.
