Description
The Undrowned Child by Michelle Lovric In the early 20th century, Venice is on the brink of disaster. A gathering of scientists aims to address the city's problems, but the future looks increasingly bleak. For twelve-year-old Teodora, however, this is just the beginning of a secret world. A world where mermaids run subversive printing presses, ghosts patrol the streets, and librarians can transform into cats. As Teo navigates this strange and magical world, she discovers she has a crucial role to play in the battle against forces determined to destroy the city. With her unique ability to move 'between the linings', Teo must use her skills to subvert evil and restore order.
