What do a spyglass, a mule, a fool, a wheelbarrow full of pies, a book of wonders, and a pack of wolves have in common? These alchemical elements are all part of the journey taken by Edith Leapyear, child outlaw. Edith, who has never known a real home, is taught to read and write by a fellow orphan at Elma Larkspur’s Home for Unwanted Girls. After a narrow escape and an ill-fated string of attempts to right the wrongs done to her, Edith finds herself in jail, where she is allowed pen and paper. By telling her own story, Edith ends up finding her people and her truth—and the world is introduced to one of the greatest literary heroines ever to embark upon a nearly hopeless quest for the balm of beautiful and soul-restoring justice.
In turns laugh-out-loud funny, gut-wrenching, and deeply compassionate, this pacy and endearing first-person adventure by the award-winning and globally best-selling author Kate DiCamillo will surely beguile rebellion-lovers of any age.
