Fly By Night by Frances Hardinge
Mosca has spent her life in a hamlet, where her father was banished for writing inflammatory books about tolerance and freedom. Now he is dead. She heads for the city of Mandelion. Someone is once again printing seditious material. Mosca uncovers a plot to force a rule of terror on the people of the Realm, and soon merry mayhem leads to murder.
Frances Hardinge spent a large part of her childhood in a huge old house that inspired her to write strange stories from an early age. She read English at Oxford University, then got a job at a software company. However, a few years later a persistent friend finally managed to bully Frances into sending a few chapters of Fly By Night, her first children's novel, to a publisher. Macmillan made her an immediate offer. The book went on to publish to huge critical acclaim and win the Branford Boase First Novel Award. She has since written many highly acclaimed children's novels including, Fly By Night's sequel, Twilight Robbery, as well as the Carnegie shortlisted Cuckoo Song and the Costa Book of the Year winner, The Lie Tree.
