A first step toward making books

Myne’s ambition to create books meets practical obstacles in a world where paper itself must be made. A proposed paper prototype brings her together with her friend Lutz and merchant Benno, with an apprenticeship deal tied to their work. The volume connects hands-on craft and commerce to Myne’s larger goal of becoming a librarian, while also raising the question of whether she has a dangerous illness called the Devouring. Its central interests are the making of books, resourcefulness, and the challenges of pursuing an idea with help from others.

Good fit for readers who enjoy

  • Readers interested in fantasy built around bookmaking and paper craft.
  • Teens and young adults who enjoy stories about ambitious projects and apprenticeship arrangements.
  • Readers following Myne’s efforts to pursue a librarian’s calling in a new world.

Book overview

To make a book, first I need paper!
It has been a year since our hero was reborn into a new world in the body of Myne, a sickly little girl from a poor family. She's been doing her best to fulfill her dream of making books, but her plans have been foiled at every turn. But now Myne has a deal with Benno the merchant: With her friend Lutz's help, she will make a paper prototype that he can sell in his shop. In exchange, he will take her and Lutz on as apprentices. But making the prototype is filled with its own challenges, and can she trust a conniving merchant like Benno? And the most important question is, does Myne have the deadly sickness known as "The Devouring"? Follow Myne's efforts to become this world's first librarian in volume 2 of this biblio-fantasy dedicated to book lovers!
