Unlike other girls her age, Meg pores<br>over books. She spends long hours conversing with the famous<br>authors and poets who visit her father's bookstore, and even<br>writes her own stories, laboring over every word until her hand<br>is black with ink. Without warning, however, Meg comes to<br>learn exactly how powerful words can be. The day her best<br>friend's brother Edward sets sail for Italy, Meg scoffs at his<br>attempts at romance by answering him with a thoughtless jest.<br>Soon news travels to London that Edward's ship has been<br>captured and he has been sold as a slave in North Africa - and<br>Meg cannot shake the thought that her cruel words are the<br>cause. Now Meg must use her fiery language to bring Edward<br>home, imploring her fellow Londoners to give all that they can<br>to buy Edward's freedom. But once Meg learns to direct the<br>power behind her words, will she be able to undo the damage<br>she has caused, and write freely the stories that she longs to put<br>to paper? <p/>This inspired sequel to <i>At the Sign of the Star </i>continues Meg's<br>story with elegance and élan.</p><p/><br></br><p><b> Review Quotes </b></p></br></br><br>"Sturtevant once again offers readers a story depicted with great clarity and many vivid details of everyday life.
