Cliffs of Wayward - (Adventures in Thimbleton) by Veronica King (Hardcover)

Book Synopsis

Return to what Kirkus Reviews called a "bewitching" fantasy world of Down The Well. This sequel explores memory, magic, and the all important question of: does your past define you?

Still eager to recover her memories and return to her own world, Lore Deoradán is bound for another adventure with the sassy mouse Mathilde and some new friends since she first fell down the well on her grandmother's property. After defeating a tyrannical and power-crazed Wielder in Charmsend, she is on her next adventure in Thimbleton. Along the way, Lore and her companions must trust each other, confront one of their own's questionable past, and survive climbing the grand Cliffs of Wayward. Delve deeper into the world of Thimbleton, as Veronica King dives deeper into fan favorite characters, learn more about the history of a world where talking animals are normal, humans are extinct, and there is always someone with a secret.

Review Quotes

The author's prose is whip-smart and laced with poetry ... and the characters exchange fun, snappy dialogue ... The novel excels at establishing settings; ... While there's plenty of action ... the way the story captures grief ... is equally impactful.-- "Kirkus recommended review for Down the Well"

About the Author

Kelli (Veronica's true name) has a deep imagination and a sail filled with ambition for the sea of opportunity ahead. As a teen, she loved consuming all media about far-off magical worlds. As an adult, she enjoys using her own spellbinding creativity to spin whimsical worlds and charming characters from thin air.

She is a proud Appalachian because you can take the woman out of the mountains, but you can't take the mountains out of the woman. She now calls a quiet New England town home. When she isn't crafting a story, she enjoys kitchen witchery, making art with her daughters, and making the everyday into an adventure with her spouse.
