She has written a successful book about the things that threaten libraries: insects, damp, light, fire, carelessness and uncaring . . . but not all of the attention it brings her is good.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eA policeman, Jacob Berger, questions her about a cold case. Then there are questions about a fire in the library at her grandparents' house and an ancient scroll box known as the Firestarter, as well as threatening phone calls and a mysterious illness. Finally a shadowy young man named Shift appears, forcing Taryn and Jacob toward a reckoning felt in more than one world.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eThe Absolute Book\u003c\/i\u003e is epic, action-packed fantasy in which hidden treasures are recovered, wicked things resurface, birds can talk, and dead sisters are a living force. It is a book of journeys and returns, from contemporary England to Auckland, New Zealand; from a magical fairyland to Purgatory. Above all, it is a declaration of love for stories and the ways in which they shape our worlds and create gods out of mortals.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePlease note this copy is in near new condition with light scuffs on the edges of the covers.\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"\"\u003eISBN: \u003cspan tabindex=\"-1\"\u003e\u003cspan class=\"Text Text__body3\"\u003e9781776562305 \u003cspan class=\"Text Text__subdued\"\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"\"\u003eSize: Paperback,  656 pages\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"\"\u003ePublisher: V\u003cspan tabindex=\"-1\"\u003e\u003cspan class=\"Text Text__body3\"\u003eictoria University Press \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"\"\u003ePublished 2019\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"A - Near New Condition","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":41381540036764,"sku":"U-B8BBD0","price":8.0,"currency_code":"NZD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0526\/1597\/0972\/files\/theabsolute_2_9583e62a-1089-4fe9-a9cd-03ea35c846b8.jpg?v=1786425761","url":"https:\/\/booksforless.co.nz\/products\/the-absolute-book-elizabeth-knox","provider":"Books For Less","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
