Splendors and Glooms
A 2013 Newbery Honor Winner. Newbery Medalist (Good Masters! Sweet Ladies! Voices from a Medieval Village) brings her sorcery to a Victorian gothic thriller--an enthralling, darkly comic tale that would do Charles Dickens proud. 6 x 8 1/2."A brooding, Dickensian novel with a touch of fantasy and a glimmer of hope. . . . As mysterious and timeless as a fairy tale." -- Booklist (starred review) Laura Amy Schlitz's Newbery Honor-winning Victorian gothic is a rich banquet of dark comedy, scorching magic, and bewitching storytelling. Clara Wintermute, the only child of a wealthy doctor, invites master puppeteer Grisini to entertain at her birthday party. When Clara vanishes that night, suspicion falls upon the puppeteer and his orphaned assistants. The three children -- two penniless waifs and one pampered heiress -- have been caught in a trap set by Grisini's ancient rival, a witch with a deadly inheritance she's determined to shed before it's too late.
