The Language of Ghosts
Giới thiệu về sách nói này
The Penderwicks meets Howl’s Moving Castle in this
thrilling middle grade fantasy adventure about a trio of royal siblings who
unlock a long-forgotten magical language in their bid to reclaim their stolen
throne—from Ember and the Ice Dragons author Heather Fawcett. Perfect
for fans of Kelly Barnhill and Robert Beatty.
Forced into exile on an enchanted, moving island, ex-princess Noa Marchena
has two missions: reclaim her family’s stolen throne and ensure that the dark
powers her older brother, Julian, possesses don’t go to his head in the
process. But between babysitting her annoying little sister, Mite, and keeping
an eye on the cake-loving sea monster that guards the moving island, Noa has
her hands full.
When the siblings learn that their enemies are searching for a weapon
capable of defeating Julian—whose legendary spell weaving is feared throughout
the kingdom—once and for all, they vow to get to it first. To everyone’s
surprise, the key to victory turns out to be a long-lost magical language—and
only Noa can speak it.
But what if by helping her brother, Noa ends up losing
him?
