Outside, the Masters play their music. Inside, the turnaway girls silently make that music into gold. Making shimmer, Mother Nine calls it. But Delphernia can’t make shimmer. She would rather sing than stay silent. When a Master who doesn’t act like a Master comes to the skydoor, it’s a chance for Delphernia to leave the cloister. Outside the stone dome, the sea breathes like a wild beast, the sky watches with stars like eyes, and even the gardens have claws. Outside, secrets fall silent in halls without sound. And outside, Delphernia is caught — between the island’s sinister Custodian and its mysterious Childer-Queen. Between a poem-speaking prince and a girl who feels like freedom. And in a debut that glimmers with hope and beauty, freedom — to sing, to change, to live — is precisely what’s at stake.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul class=\"salespoints\" style=\"padding: 0px 2em; margin: 0px; caret-color: #444444; color: #444444; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 14.208px; text-size-adjust: auto;\"\u003e\n\u003cli style=\"margin: 0px 0px 1em;\"\u003eA quirky, dark, literary fantasy that should appeal to fans of Franny Billingsley's\u003cspan class=\"Apple-converted-space\"\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003ci\u003eThe Folk Keeper\u003c\/i\u003e, Holly Black's\u003cspan class=\"Apple-converted-space\"\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003ci\u003eDoll Bones\u003c\/i\u003e, Pam Munoz Ryan's\u003cspan class=\"Apple-converted-space\"\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003ci\u003eEcho,\u003cspan class=\"Apple-converted-space\"\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/i\u003eand Patrick Ness's\u003cspan class=\"Apple-converted-space\"\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003ci\u003eA Monster Calls.\u003c\/i\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli style=\"margin: 0px 0px 1em;\"\u003eExplores the dynamics of gender roles, abuse, family, and identity in a breathtaking, unusual fantasy setting.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli style=\"margin: 0px 0px 1em;\"\u003eA book about the power of music, love, friendship, and stubbornnes\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"Walker Books","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":21113835094070,"sku":"9781406379839","price":16.99,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0173\/5566\/9558\/products\/walker-books-child-fiction-10-plus-the-turnaway-girls-hayley-chewins-11360617168950.png?v=1599548621","url":"https:\/\/thedonkeystale.com.au\/products\/0adfd74a-1573-11e8-fa42-f206a0b5d731","provider":"The Donkey's Tale","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
