Synopsis

Inventive, empathetic, and strange in all the best ways, The Spinner of Dreams draws from the author’s own experiences to create a story that feels timeless and universal. As she did in her debut The Land of Yesterday, K. A. Reynolds thoughtfully explores mental health and crafts an adventure that fits right alongside middle grade classics like The Phantom Tollbooth.

Annalise Meriwether―though kind, smart, and curious―is terribly lonely.

Cursed at birth by the devious Fate Spinner, Annalise has always lived a solitary life with her loving parents. She does her best to ignore the cruel townsfolk of her desolate town―but the black mark on her hand won’t be ignored.

Not when the monster living within it, which seems to have an agenda of its own, grows more unpredictable each day.

There’s only one way for Annalise to rid herself of her curse: to enter the Labyrinth of Fate and Dreams and defeat the Fate Spinner. So despite her anxiety, Annalise sets out to undo the curse that’s defined her―and to show the world, and herself, exactly who she is inside.

• A Living Curse: Annalise’s black mark isn’t just a birthmark—it’s a monster with a mind of its own, growing more unpredictable every day.
• A Hero with Anxiety: A thoughtful and honest adventure that explores what it’s like to face your fears, deal with panic, and still be the hero of your own story.
• An Unlikely Friendship: In a world where she’s terribly lonely, Annalise finds a friend in Mister Edwards, a brave three-legged fox on a quest of his own.
• A Magical Labyrinth: To break her curse, Annalise must journey into the Labyrinth of Fate and Dreams, a magical world ruled by the devious Fate Spinner.
