(Farrar, Straus, and Giroux, $16.95, 9780374310264 / 0374310262)
"This is a book to get lost in, to explore with curiosity and delight. Upon completion of the world's finest astronomical clock, Peter Kronos, is betrayed by the prince who commissioned it, blinded, and sent home. His daughter, Petra, sets out to retrace her father's journey and reclaim his eyes. An examination of the true meaning of blindness -- and an exciting start to a promising new series featuring a heroine with magic and spunk." --Emily D. Pardo, Books & Books, Coral Gables, FL
