Miist (The Bone Grit Historeum Book 1)

Description

Recipient of the Readers Choice Five Star Award and a Kids Pick Seal of Approval, Miist, with its humor, mystery and magic, is an exciting adventure for all ages!

Root Karbunkulus has a few enemies:

The Finks because she rescued the children they kidnapped.

The Aunts because how dare she quit scavenging for them.

And the Badges because they’re tired of making up excuses to arrest her all the time.

Her odds of surviving the streets of Shade Howl are dwindling daily. She could really use something decent this Birthday. Preferably an Ember Stamp that could bestow her with powerful magical abilities. But that’ll never happen because Birthday is a national holiday for ALL those born. Everyone. Young and old and in between. And that means gifts are swapped at random, from person to person, all day long, and she has no control over what her Ender Gift will be.

But something very strange and miraculous happens to Root this Birthday. Somehow, she ends up with not one, but three Ender Gifts. Three! The very idea! Why, it’s unheard of! Preposterous! And yet three there are, all for Root. Gift one is a tiny woman in a box with a decidedly fancy invitation to a decidedly official order called the Clade of Acquisitions. The second is a mysterious coin. And the third . . . is an Ember Stamp! Let the adventures begin!
