An apprentice clockmaker. A sinister doctor. An inn-keeper s daughter. A prince who is not-quite human, and a statue who is not quite...not. All of these characters are brought together in a masterpiece of suspense that keeps the heart thumping to the very last page, and the mind whirring long afterward. And now in Scholastic s paperback After Words version featuring a new interview with the author at the back of the book.
