Description

The eagerly-awaited sequel to the best-selling The Glass Sentence — a historical, fantastical adventure perfect for fans of Philip Pullman!
It is the summer of 1892, one year since Sophia Tims and her friend Theo embarked upon the dangerous adventure that rewrote the map of the world. Since their return home to Boston, she has continued searching for clues to her parents’ disappearance, combing archives and libraries, grasping at even the most slender leads. Theo has apprenticed himself to an explorer in order to follow those leads across the country—but one after another proves to be a dead end.
            Then Sophia discovers that a crucial piece of the puzzle exists in a foreign Age. At the same time, Theo discovers that his old life outside the law threatens to destroy the new one he has built with Sophia and her uncle Shadrack. What he and Sophia do not know is that their separate discoveries are intertwined, and that one remarkable person is part of both.
            There is a city that holds all of the answers—but it cannot be found on any map. Surrounded by plague, it can only be reached by a journey through darkness and chaos, which is at the same time the plague’s cure: The Golden Specific.

      • content: Narrator Cassandra Campbell is up to the challenge presented by this second tale in the Mapmakers Trilogy. She has distinctive voices for all the characters, and she makes shifts smoothly as the story weaves its way through time and space. The listener's challenge is to stay with her amid the parallel universes. Without familiarity with THE GLASS SENTENCE, Book 1 of this complex world, the listener will feel as lost as Sophia does as she tries to find her long-lost parents. Fans of complex, fantastical worlds filled with magic, history, science, and more than a touch of danger will enjoy the journey if they pick up Book 1 first. N.E.M. © AudioFile 2016, Portland, Maine
