Description

Petra Kronos has a simple, happy life. But it’s never been ordinary. She
has a pet tin spider named Astrophil who likes to hide in her snarled hair
and give her advice. Her best friend can trap lightning inside a glass
sphere. Petra also has a father in faraway Prague who is able to move metal
with his mind. He has been commissioned by the prince of Bohemia to build
the world’s finest astronomical clock. Petra’s life is forever changed
when, one day, her father returns home – blind. The prince has stolen his
eyes, enchanted them, and now wears them. But why? Petra doesn’t know, but
she knows this: she will go to Prague, sneak into Salamander Castle, and
steal her father’s eyes back. Joining forces with Neel, whose fingers
extend into invisible ghosts that pick locks and pockets, Petra finds that
many people in the castle are not what they seem, and that her father’s
clock has powers capable of destroying their world. This startling debut
novel, about the risks we take to protect those we love, brims with magic,
political intrigue, and heroism. The Cabinet of Wonders is a 2009 Bank
Street - Best Children's Book of the Year.
