In that time, they have traveled far and wide in search of adventure. Now they have been summoned by Professor Cake for a new mission: To find a twelve-year-old bookmender named Sophie Quire. Sophie knows little beyond the four walls of her father’s bookshop, where she repairs old books and dreams of escaping the confines of her dull life. But when a strange boy and his talking cat/horse companion show up with a rare and mysterious book, she finds herself pulled into an adventure beyond anything she has ever read. </p><p data-rte-preserve-empty="true" style="white-space:pre-wrap;">You can learn more and read some <em>starred</em> reviews <a href="http://www.thescop.com/2016/03/seeing-stars/">here</a> … or check out the <a href="https://books.google.com/books?id=oH16CAAAQBAJ&lpg=PP1&dq=jonathan%20auxier&pg=PP1#v=onepage&q&f=false">first few chapters</a> for free!</p></div> </div> </div> <div class="color-overlay"></div> </div> <div class="slide content-fill" data-type="image" data-click-through-url="https://www.thescop.com/my-books"> <a class="content-fill" href="https://www.thescop.com/my-books" > <noscript><img src="https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ab5071e7e3c3ad968e4f31a/1733337351875-U5APKTY95M02OSRTE6YB/PeterNimble+Cover.jpg" alt="THE VANISHED KINGDOM: Peter Nimble and his Fantastic Eyes" /></noscript><img class="thumb-image" elementtiming="system-gallery-block-slideshow" data-src="https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ab5071e7e3c3ad968e4f31a/1733337351875-U5APKTY95M02OSRTE6YB/PeterNimble+Cover.jpg" data-image="https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ab5071e7e3c3ad968e4f31a/1733337351875-U5APKTY95M02OSRTE6YB/PeterNimble+Cover.jpg" data-image-dimensions="1650x2475" data-image-focal-point="0.5,0.5" alt="THE VANISHED KINGDOM: Peter Nimble and his Fantastic Eyes" data-load="false" data-image-id="5abaa47c88251ba850bd2712" data-type="image" /> </a> <div class="meta"> <div class="meta-inside"> <div class="meta-title">THE VANISHED KINGDOM: Peter Nimble and his Fantastic Eyes</div> <div class="meta-description"><p data-rte-preserve-empty="true" style="white-space:pre-wrap;">The first thrilling book in the acclaimed VANISHED KINGDOM series.
