Adventure, burgeoning companionship, and oddities galore blossom in the sequel to FLY BY NIGHT. Having fled Mandelion and a revolution they helped spark, the compelling trio of wily 12-year-old orphan Mosca Mye, her fierce guard goose, Saracen, and con man Eponymous Clent have landed in the peculiar town of Toll, where there two different communities depending on the time of day. Eager to be gone before they become trapped in Toll-by-Night, the menacing evening version of town, Mosca and Eponymous become involved in a kidnapping scheme while trying to avoid capture by an enemy. With rich, witty writing, a host of hilarious new characters, and the deepening of key relationships, author Frances Hardinge has again created a unique and clever book.
