A thief meets a wizard.

Skate meets a wizard and her life changes forever. Jeff Ayers has written a most imaginative book. I found myself wondering just what he would introduce me to next. I enjoyed it immensely!

*No Spoilers*

A beautiful heart-touching fairy tale like storyline. One like me will totally love reading this in one sitting.
Skate, a nine year old thief, affiliated with the gangs of Ink. A witty and intelligent house breaker of Caribol, working to get herself some shelter and food. Never to get caught at all, but, when she breaks in the house of Mr. Belamy, he actually catches her.
The good old Belamy appears to be kind and actually lets her stay in her house if she steal books for her, but she has to take care to only pick the ones up which he already does not own.

Will Skate be able to find enough of books to get food and sleep?
Will The Ink let her work for them as well?

The author has done a very good job detailing very little things written across the book. The feelings, characters, how they see what they see, surrounding, everything is very well developed. A lot of work is seen throughout the text.

Give it a try, you will not regret it!

I received a free copy of this book and am voluntarily leaving a review.
