Sophie Quire and the Last Storyguard (the Vanished Kingdom Book 2): Revised Edition - Jonathan Auxier

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--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. n 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. n n 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. n n*This novel should be in the hands of every human young enough at heart to be enchanted by the written word. --Kirkus Reviews, starred review n nAlso available: nPeter Nimble and His Fantastic Eyes nThe War of the Mapsn
