Yarnspinner falls under the spell\nof this book-obsessed metropolis, where an avid reader and budding\nauthor can find any number of charming attractions: priceless\nsigned first editions, salivating literary agents, and for-hire\ncritics. But as Yarnspinner pursues the trail of the missing\nauthor, the darker side of Bookholm begins to unveil\nitself-cold-blooded book hunters, cyclopean Fearsome Booklings,\nsharp-toothed Animatomes, and of course, the Shadow King, whose\nhowls rise from deep beneath the city at night. Will Yarnspinner\nsurvive his quest into this world where reading is a genuine\nadventure?
