Foxheart

"A heart-poundingadventure."-**Publishers Weekly (starredreview)**

Orphan. Thief. *Witch***.**

A classicfantasy-adventure reminiscent of *Howl'sMoving Castle from* NewYork Times-bestselling author Claire Legrand.****

Twelve-year-old

Quicksilver lives as a thief in the sleepy town of Willow-on-the-River. Her

only companions are her faithful dog and partner in crime, Fox-and Sly Boots,

the shy boy who lets her live in his attic when it's too cold to sleep on the

rooftops. It's a lonesome life, but Quicksilver is used to being alone. When

you are alone, no one can hurt you. No one can abandon you.

Then one day Quicksilver

discovers that she can perform magic. Real magic. The kind

that isn't supposed to exist anymore. Magic is forbidden, but Quicksilver

nevertheless wants to learn more. With real magic, she could become the

greatest thief who ever lived. She could maybe even find her parents. What she

does find, however, is much more complicated and surprising. . . .

Acclaimed

author Claire Legrand's stunning and original novel explores the danger of lies

and the power of truth, the strength found in friendship, and the value of

loving and being loved . . . even if it means risking your heart. Full of

magic, adventure, and an original and compelling cast of characters, Foxheart will

appeal to fans of Neil Gaiman and Diana Wynne Jones.
