D. D. Everest’s magical middle grade debut, now available in paperback, is filled with enchanted books and mysterious activity that is sure to captivate readers. Open this book…if you dare to face what awaits you inside!
On his twelfth birthday, Archie Greene receives a mysterious package containing an ancient book in a language he doesn’t recognize. The gift leads him to a family he didn’t know he had and a world he never knew existed.
With the help of his cousins, Bramble and Thistle, Archie tries to unravel the mystery behind his book, but he begins to realize that his gift is something more powerful than he could have imagined. And the only thing more perilous than its contents is being its owner. The book waited four hundred years for Archie Greene. Now Archie must discover why.
- A Magical Apprenticeship: Discover a secret museum hidden beneath Oxford where Archie learns the ancient arts of mending, minding, and binding magical books.
- A Found Family: Meet the quirky Foxe family—Aunt Loretta, Uncle Woodbine, and cousins Bramble and Thistle—the magical relatives Archie never knew he had.
- Books with a Mind of Their Own: From books that can fly to ones that pop knights out of their pages, this world is filled with books that are more than just words.
- The Book Whisperer: Archie has a rare and dangerous gift: he can hear magical books talk. But what they’re whispering about could put everyone in danger.
