After all, he wears a coat made of hedgehog quills, changes size at will, and treats the laws of physics as merely suggested guidelines. Very quickly, she learns she's stepped into a world where dreams and reality intersect. Dangerously.</p><p><br></p><p>Now, she's an accomplice in the wily thief's master plan to rescue a Muse from one of the most powerful beings in existence. The unlikely duo schemes their way from a town made of moonbeams to the fog-shrouded land of the dead. They fence with nightmares and bargain with witches amid the asteroid remains of a shattered planet. Along the way, Madarena learns that potential is more than a word. Rescuing the Muse-and Madarena's own survival-depend on harnessing all the women she can be.</p><p><br></p><p>Fans of Heidi Heilig's The Girl from Everywhere</em> and Matt Haig's The Midnight Library</em> will enjoy this dazzling, imaginative adventure from the author of The Chaos Court</em>.</p><p/><br></br><p><b> Review Quotes </b></p></br></br><br><p>Burnett's fast-paced novel is imaginative, unique, and well written. Readers who enjoy adventurous fantasies will appreciate the echoes of Greek mythology and such literary classics as Lewis Carroll's <em>Alice's Adventures in Wonderland</em>, L. Frank Baum's <em>The Wonderful Wizard of Oz</em> and Madeleine L'Engle's <em>A Wrinkle in Time</em>. This creative novel will boost readers' vocabulary and appeal to those looking for a quirky, fun adventure. </p><p><br></p><p>-<em>School Library Journal</em></p><p><br></p><p>Burnett harbors a deep love for the absurd, using his imaginative skills to the hilt, as did L. Frank Baum in <em>The Wonderful Wizard of Oz</em>... unexpected cleverness continues to gush like a geyser as the tale proceeds... A bonkers fantasy that retains a sweetly human center.</p><p><br></p><p>-<em>Kirkus Reviews</em></p><br>
