![]() ![]() It would be exactly the kind of tale Mosca has always longed to take part in, until she learns that her one true love-words-may be the death of her. ![]() Soon Mosca and Clent are living a life of deceit and danger-discovering secret societies, following shady characters onto floating coffeehouses, and entangling themselves with crazed dukes and double crossing racketeers. Enter Eponymous Clent, a smooth-talking con man who seems to love words nearly as much as Mosca herself. She doesn’t know it yet, but in a world where books are dangerous things, this gift will change her life. But she does have one small, rare thing: the ability to read. Her cruel uncle keeps her locked up in his mill, and her only friend is her pet goose, Saracen, who’ll bite anything that crosses his path. ![]() Twelve-year-old Mosca Mye hasn’t got much. Fly by Night, by Frances Hardinge, was published in 2005 by HarperCollins. ![]()
