About this ebook
Goldie Roth is a trained thief and a skilled liar. Along with her friend Toadspit, she's supposed to be one of the Keepers of the mysterious Museum of Dunt. But although she desperately wants to be a Keeper, she will not leave her sick parents to do so.
But when Toadspit's sister Bonnie is stolen, he and Goldie are forced to follow the child-stealers to the neighboring city of Spoke. Along the way, Toadspit too is captured, and Goldie is caught up in the Festival of Lies, where every word she says means something else and no one can be trusted. There, Goldie discovers some dangerous secrets—secrets that the child-stealers will kill to protect. She will need all her skills as a thief and a liar if she is to survive and save her friends.

I absolutly love love love this book! It was well thought out and well devised. It was hard not to experience things from Goldie's veiw and sink completly into the story and become part of the book. I loved the plot and the characters were amazing. It's hard to write a sequel that builds apon the first book but Lian Tanner did that perfectly, introduced new characters brilliantly and by the time the book was done it was as if they had been there the whole time. Over all it was a huge succsess. Well done Lian Tanner, well done.
