The Spindlers

د.إ37.21

One day when Liza went to bed, Patrick was her chubby, stubby, candy-grubbing, and pancake-loving younger brother, who irritated and amused her both, and the next morning, when she woke up, he was not. In fact, he was quite, quite different. When Liza’s brother, Patrick, changes overnight, Liza knows exactly what has happened: the spindlers have gotten to him, and stolen his soul. She knows, too, that she is the only one who can save him. To rescue Patrick, Liza must go Below, armed with little more than her wits and a broom. There, she uncovers a vast world populated with talking rats, music-loving moles, greedy troglods, and overexcitable nids . . . as well as strange monsters and terrible dangers. But she will face her greatest challenge at the spindlers’ nests, where she encounters the evil Queen and must pass a series of deadly tests – or else her soul, too, will remain Below forever.

Review

“Richly detailed, at times poetic, ultimately moving; a book to be puzzled over, enjoyed and, ideally, read aloud.” — Kirkus Reviews(starred review)

“Oliver’s magical, mesmerizing quest affirms the saving power of story, friendship, and love.” — Publishers Weekly (starred review)

“Oliver’s fluid, poetic prose elevates this tale above the genre, often imparting weight to the simplest sentences….this is sure to win over middle-grade readers.” — Bulletin of the Center for Children’s Books (starred review)

“Lauren Oliver will again sweep up younger readers with her dark and illuminating tale…The novel pulses with great adventure and plenty of heart.” — Shelf Awareness (starred review)

Praise for Liesl & Po: “Classic fairy tale elements weave throughout this spirited, old-fashioned adventure. Invigorating and hopeful, this novel testifies to the power of friendship and generosity to conquer greed and depression.” — Publishers Weekly (starred review)

Praise for Liesl & Po: “With her third book, Lauren Oliver (Before I Fall; Delirium) creates another highly original world, this one for middle-grade readers. Oliver introduces orphans Liesl and Will, a touch of magic, some delectable coincidences, and friendship that stretches from the Living Side to the Other Side.” — Shelf Awareness

Praise for Liesl & Po: “Liesl & Po by Lauren Oliver brings much-needed magic to an increasingly neglected age group. It’s books like this, with its classic quest plot, intertwined with lyrical metaphysics, that can set a child up for life.” — The Sunday Telegraph
