Sepia and the awakening of ink magic

Twelve-year-old Sepia realizes that ink and books are more valuable than gold in Flohall as soon as she arrives in the famous port city with its fragrant ink and whispering paper. She is to learn the craft of book printing from Silbersilbe, one of the three great masters. Why was she chosen - a clumsy orphan girl who constantly has ink stains on her fingers? Sepia soon finds loyal friends in Niki and Sanzio and experiences her first Funkelfest. But strange things start to happen in Flohall. Ink goes missing, sinister figures prowl around, and then the masters disappear. Sepia suspects that this has something to do with the ink war and a dark alchemist who everyone thought had been defeated long ago. Register at: www.freiburg.de/lesefest
