Summary

From I, Coriander to Invisible in a Bright Light, Sally Gardner's first middle grade novel in 14 years soars with the imagination of a master story teller.

A pitch perfect, haunting story about a crystal chandelier shaped like a galleon that splinters into a thousand pieces, a girl abandoned as a baby on the steps of an opera house and a dangerous game called the Reckoning.

1870. It is opening night at the Royal Opera House in a freezing city by the sea, where a huge crystal chandelier in the shape of a galleon sparkles magically with the light of 750 candles. Celeste, a theatre rat, wakes up in a costume basket from what she hopes is a bad dream, to find out that everyone at the theatre where she works thinks she is someone else. When the chandelier falls, she is haunted by a strange girl who claims to know Celeste's past and why she must play a game called the Reckoning to try to save the people she loves.

I LOVED THIS BOOK

This is my FAVOURITE book EVER. It is quite confusing but it all makes sort of sense in the end but it is AMAZING because it sounds so enchanting and magical without it actually being like a normal fantasy book. I believe that this is a unique piece of literature which I LOVED and I would reccomend it to anyone. the ONLY problem with it is when friends ask what ur reading you cant really describe it well since it is such wonderful magical nonsense. again LOVED it. ❤

a bit weird, but fun - worth sticking with

I was a bit unsure about the text at first. But but the time I was finished I really enjoyed it.
