When Getwin, Lea and Buckle – with the help of Sharp the raven – unearth the trickster Book of Blacke, they embark on a quest to undo the controls on their world, seeking justice for the Scribes who are forced to work and for those who have never been allowed to read or write.

The city of Wyle comes alive with danger and intrigue as our heroes contend with the secrets of the Scholar's Library, a magical boat, curious creatures, a secret reading and writing society, sleeping trees and the twists and turns of the ancient city.

Can the friends stay safe? Will they be able to free the Scribes? Will they make enough trouble to shake the foundations of their world?

This unmissable sequel to award-winning The Raven's Eye Runaways is rich with wonder and a thirst for justice.
