As a child growing up in Wales, she played among the spirits who made their homes in industrial ruins, but her mind found freedom in the science fiction novels that were her closest companions. When her mother tried to bend the spirits to dark ends, Mori was forced to confront her in a magical battle that left her crippled - and her twin sister dead.Now, having fled to a father she barely knew, Mori is sent to boarding school in England--a place all but devoid of true magic. There, she tempts fate by doing magic herself, in an attempt to find a circle of like-minded friends. But her magic attracts the attention of her broken and malign mother, pulling Morwenna toward a reckoning that will draw on everything she has learned in her years of engagement with stories and books.It leapt onto my all-time favorites shelf. -Rainbow RowellAbout the AuthorJO WALTONs novel Tooth and Claw won the World Fantasy Award, and the novels of her Small Change sequence--Farthing, Hapenny, and Half a Crown--have won acclaim ranging from national newspapers to the Romantic Times Reviewers Choice Award.
