Description
'The fantasy book of the year' - Eoin Colfer How many words do you need to survive? "Love", "hope", "freedom" - in the dystopian future of Ark, after climate change disaster, these words are being banned. One girl takes stand against this loss of language - she is the Wordsmith. Winner of a White Raven Award from the International Youth Library and shortlisted for the Children's Books Ireland Book of the Year, The Wordsmith is a beautiful and gripping dystopian story of how words make us who we are. 'This book targets the dangers of global warming and the power of communication, love and expression.' - The Guardian 'A novel that truly stands apart for its originality and relevance.' - The Irish Times 'Forde's exploration of language as both weapon and saviour is a noble one, and environmental undertones bolster its power. Pair with Patrick Ness's The Knife of Never Letting Go.' -Booklist 'A tremendous pageturner; I hope this won't be the last we hear of Letta, a brave and spirited heroine.' - School Library Association
