Book Description
“An imaginative, dark, and creepy blend of classic fairy tales in a page-turning thriller . . . unpredictable and enjoyable.” —The Quiet Concert One girl is kept in a room where every day the only food she’s given is a poisoned apple. Another is kept in a room covered in needles—and if she pricks her finger, she’ll die. Then there are the brother and sister kept in a cell that keeps getting hotter and hotter . . . A sinister kidnapper is on the loose in Kate’s world. She’s not involved until one day she heads to her grandmother’s house in the woods—and finds her grandmother has also been taken. Already an outcast, Kate can’t get any help from the villagers who hate her. Only Jack, another outsider, will listen to what’s happened. Then a princess is taken, and suddenly the king is paying attention—even though the girl’s stepmother would rather he didn’t. It’s up to Kate and Jack to track down the victims before an ever after arrives that’s far from happy. “Paulson’s world-building is intriguing . . . compulsively readable.” —MuggleNet

Book Description
"Magnet has two principal aims. One is to persuade us that Dickens was far more a novelist of ideas than his reputation suggests; the other is to demonstrate that his liberal (or radical) attitudes were embedded in an essentially conservative view of the world. On both counts, he seems successful; his book is well argued, attractively written and all in all one of the most stimulating studies of Dickens to have appeared in recent years" (New York Times). This edition includes a new preface by the author.
