What will you get? A book called Chime.įranny Billingsley's debut young adult novel, Chime, was published in 2011 and is a National Book Award finalist full of fantasy, suspense, romance, drama, and mystery. Add a pinch of self-loathing, friendship, love triangles, and family drama, then let it all boil and bubble under a full moon at midnight. She is the author of "Fireborne" (Putnam, 2019) and "Flamefall" (2021), the first two books of the Aurelian Cycle trilogy.Enter a gloomy world with horrors, hangings, witches, ghosts, fires, floods, and creepy nursery rhymes and songs. She lives in Chicago.Ībout the interlocutor: Rosaria Munda studied political theory at Princeton and lives with her husband in Chicago.
Every sentence shines, sharp as a blade, in a beautifully crafted novel about memory, identity, and the power of language to heal and reconstruct our lives.Ībout the author: Franny Billingsley is the highly acclaimed author of three fantasy novels-National Book Award Finalist "Chime," Boston Globe–Horn Book Award winner "The Folk Keeper," and "Well Wished"-as well as a picture book, "Big Bad Bunny," illustrated by G. "The Robber Girl" is at once achingly real-wise to the nuances of trauma-and loaded with magic, action, and intrigue.
The Robber Girl finds what might be a home, but to fight is easier than to trust when you’re a mystery even to yourself and you’re torn between loyalty and love. Fetch unto me the wingless bird, and I shall make you my heir. The right number of tasks is two, like Grandmother gave to Gentleman Jack: Fetch unto me the mountain’s gold, to build our city fair. She finds two dolls who give her three tasks, even though she knows that three is too many tasks. But instead of gold, the Robber Girl finds a dollhouse cottage with doorknobs the size of apple seeds. Today, the Robber Girl and her dagger will ride with Gentleman Jack into the Indigo Heart to claim the gold that’s rightfully his. Its voice in her head is as sharp as its two edges that taper down to a point. Tickets include a copy of "The Robber Girl" as well as a copy of "Chime," also authored by Franny.Ībout the book: A brilliant puzzle of a book from the author of "Chime" and "The Folk Keeper" plunges us into the vulnerable psyche of one of the most memorable unreliable narrators to grace the page in decades. The event will take place on September 18 at 11:30am and will include a reading and activity.
