Maison d'édition: Scholastic Press
Synopsis
The final Fever Crumb adventure from the author of Mortal Engines. “For die-hard fans of science fiction, it doesn’t get much better.” —School Library Journal The Scriven people are brilliant, mad—and dead. All except one, whose monstrous creation is nearly complete: a giant city on wheels. New London terrifies the rest of the world, and an army of mammoth-riders gathers to fight it. Meanwhile, young Fever Crumb begins a hunt for Ancient technology in the icy strongholds of the north. She finds a mysterious black pyramid full of secrets. It will change her world forever. Scrivener’s Moon follows Fever Crumb and A Web of Air to complete one of the most exciting and inventive fantasy adventures series ever written. “The rich worldbuilding continues to hold surprises, and the writing never falters . . . Quiet and somber, but still deeply satisfying.” —Kirkus Reviews “Characterization is deep and revelatory; themes are rich and seamlessly interwoven; and the plot is complex and packed with propulsive action.” —The Horn Book
