She has only seen the world through maps. She had no
idea they were so dangerous.
Boston, 1891. Sophia Tims comes from a family of explorers
and cartologers who, for generations, have been traveling
and mapping the New World—a world changed by the Great
Disruption of 1799, when all the continents were flung into
different time periods. Eight years ago, her parents left
her with her uncle Shadrack, the foremost cartologer in
Boston, and went on an urgent mission. They never returned.
Life with her brilliant, absent-minded, adored uncle has
taught Sophia to take care of herself. Then Shadrack is kidnapped. And Sophia, who has rarely been
outside of Boston, is the only one who can search for him.
Together with Theo, a refugee from the West, she travels
over rough terrain and uncharted ocean, encounters pirates
and traders, and relies on a combination of Shadrack’s maps,
common sense, and her own slantwise powers of observation.
But even as Sophia and Theo try to save Shadrack’s life,
they are in danger of losing their own. The Glass Sentence plunges readers into a time and
place they will not want to leave, and introduces them to a
heroine and hero they will take to their hearts. It is a
remarkable debut.
