Beschreibung
For fans of Nevermoor and Howl's Moving Castle comes an epic middle grade fantasy about a girl with the ability to unlock anything-including the empire's darkest secrets.
Melanie Gate is a foundling with a peculiar talent for opening the unopenable-any lock releases at the touch of her hand. One night, her orphanage is visited by Traveler, a lifeless gearling automaton there on behalf of his magical mistress, who needs an apprentice pronto. When Melanie is selected because of her gift, her life changes in a flash, and in more ways than she knows-because Traveler is not at all what he seems.
So begins an epic, overland adventure sparkling with magic, humor, secret identities, stinky cats, fierce orphan girls, impostor boys, and a foundling and gearling hotly pursued by the most powerful and dangerous wizard in the land. Along the way, Melanie never expects to uncover the source of her own true powers-or learn that she may be the key to saving the empire.
"Zack Loran Clark has spun a new classic. Perfect next read for fans of classics by Ursula LeGuin and Diana Wynne Jones." -Eliot Schrefer, two-time National Book Award finalist and author of The Lost Rain Forest series

Zusammenfassung
Action-packed yet smart and layered: A mix of lush world-building, high stakes, humor, and emotional and thematic richness make this a page-turner that will get kids thinking.
Sits with classic MG fantasy, new and old: Think voice-y delights like Nevermoor, Howl's Moving Castle, and Furthermore, plus a nod to The Wizard of Oz.
Timeless and timely, with deep emotional arcs and themes: A story for right now and years to come-explores what it means to be born into one role and choose another, as well as the importance of found family.
LGBTQ+ representation: While adventuring, Melanie develops her first crush on another girl, rarely depicted in the middle grade epic fantasy space and deeply important to the author.
Delightful sidekick: Melanie's gearling sidekick is somewhere between C-3P0 and Mr. Giles from Buffy and totally delightful with a rich arc of his own.
Zack Loran Clark: Zack is a gay man committed to writing more queer main characters into smart, mainstream, middle grade fantasy.
