Summary
Prepare to be swept into a richly imagined world where reading is forbidden, and knowledge is a secret weapon. In The Reader, Traci Chee crafts a mesmerizing adventure through a land where literacy has vanished and books hold near-mythical power. Sefia, a fierce and determined heroine, has been raised in hiding after her father’s brutal murder. When she discovers a strange object—a book—she realizes it holds the key to finding her missing aunt and uncovering the truth about her past. Accompanied by a mysterious, silent boy she rescues from captivity, Sefia's quest transforms into a breathtaking journey of self-discovery, magic, and resilience. Chee’s lyrical prose and intricate world-building make The Reader a feast for lovers of fantasy, storytelling, and the transformative power of words. Ideal for fans of immersive, thought-provoking young adult fantasy, this novel is the first in the Sea of Ink and Gold trilogy and a standout celebration of the stories that shape us.
