THE ROPEMAKER

A Michael L. Printz Honor Book

Tilja’s grandmother understands the whispering of the cedars. Tahl’s grand-father understands the chatter of the streams. From them comes disturbing news: The magic that keeps the valley safe is dying.

Along with their grandparents, Tilja and Tahl set out into the fearsome Empire to find the one man who can renew that ancient power. But he has not been seen for centuries, and to utter his name means death.

On their journey, Tilja discovers her own extraordinary power, as great as that of any magicians but utterly different. It connects her to a mysterious stranger who appears in many disguises—and who may be the only sorceror who can unweave the rope of time itself.

“A thoroughly compelling tale that delves into the nature of both magic and time.”—Booklist, Starred

“A challenging magical adventure for the thinking reader.”—Publishers Weekly, Starred

“The suspense does not let up until the very last pages . . . a wonderful coming-of-age story . . . fascinating.” —School Library Journal, Starred
