Lauren Oliver,Iacopo Bruno
Evocative of ,Alice in Wonderland,, this novel from ,New York Times, bestselling author Lauren Oliver is a bewitching story about the reaches of loyalty and the enduring power of hope. Perfect for fans of the authorâ€™s other middle grade novels: ,Liesl & Po, and the Curiosity House series.,Looking across the breakfast table one morning, twelve-year-old Liza feels dread wash over her. Although her younger brother, Patrick, appears the same, Liza knows that he is actually quite different. She is certain that the spindlersâ€”evil, spiderlike beingsâ€”came during the night and stole his soul. And Liza is also certain that she is the only one who can rescue him.,Armed with little more than her wits and a huge talking rat for a guide, Liza descends into the dark and ominous underground to save Patrick's soul. Her quest is far from easy: she must brave tree-snakes, the Court of Stones, and shape-shifting scawgs before facing her greatest challenge in the spindlers' lair, where more than just Patrick's soul is at stake.
