Book of Interest: The Reader

I love posting Books of Interest because not only is it a way to find new and old books that interest me but hopefully books that might interest you as well. I'm always on the lookout for that next book and the description for The Reader caught my attention.

Can you imagine not only trying to figure out how to survive on your own but also trying to find your aunt who had been captured? It seems like a daring story and one that I will be adding to my wishlist.



Book: The Reader (Sea of Ink and Gold book #1) by Traci Chee

Description:

Sefia knows what it means to survive. After her father is brutally murdered, she flees into the wilderness with her aunt Nin, who teaches her to hunt, track, and steal. But when Nin is kidnapped, leaving Sefia completely alone, none of her survival skills can help her discover where Nin’s been taken, or if she’s even alive. The only clue to both her aunt’s disappearance and her father’s murder is the odd rectangular object her father left behind, an object she comes to realize is a book—a marvelous item unheard of in her otherwise illiterate society. With the help of this book, and the aid of a mysterious stranger with dark secrets of his own, Sefia sets out to rescue her aunt and find out what really happened the day her father was killed—and punish the people responsible.

With overlapping stories of swashbuckling pirates and merciless assassins, The Reader is a brilliantly told adventure from an extraordinary new talent.
