The curse of the gloamglozer / Paul Stewart & Chris Riddell.
Apprenticed to the Most High Academe of Sanctaphrax, a floating city of scholars, gossip, and treachery, fourteen-year-old Quint runs increasingly dangerous errands, which eventually bring him to a place of gruesome monsters that threaten his life and those of his friends. "Oh, Sky above!" Linius wailed. "If I had known then what I know now." Quint, son of a sky pirate captain, and new apprentice to Linius Pallitax, the Most High Academe, has been set some highly important tasks. Just how important, Quint is about to find out as he and Linius's only daughter, Maris, are plunged into a terrifying adventure that takes them deep within the rock upon which Sanctaphrax is built. Here, they unwittingly invoke an ancient curse - the curse of the gloamglozer. A dramatic and exuberant fantasy filled with colourful characters and illustrated with exquisite detail. From the Trade Paperback edition.
