Sophie Quire and the Last Storyguard: A Peter Nimble Adventure
Sophie Quire and the Last Storyguard is a captivating adventure by Jonathan Auxier, New York Times bestselling author of The Night Gardener.
It’s been two years since Peter Nimble and Sir Tode rescued the kingdom of HazelPort. In that time, they have traveled far and wide in search of adventure. Now they have been summoned by Professor Cake for a new mission: to find a 12-year-old bookmender named Sophie Quire.
Sophie knows little beyond the four walls of her father’s bookshop, where she repairs old books and dreams of escaping the confines of her dull life. But when a strange boy and his talking cat/horse companion show up with a rare and mysterious book, she finds herself pulled into an adventure beyond anything she has ever read.
“In the grand tradition of Cornelia Funke’s Inkheart and John Stephens’s The Emerald Atlas comes this companion novel to Auxier’s Peter Nimble and His Fantastic Eyes. . . . This author so clearly views books as the elixir of life, and this conviction oozes out of the text. . . . A fantastically done fantasy that will be enthusiastically embraced by middle grade bibliophiles.” —School Library Journal (Starred Review)
