Heartfelt, rapide et totalement absorbant, The Gilded Girl est le premier roman étincelant d'Alyssa Colman sur la détermination, l'esprit et la magie de l'amitié.
Tout enfant peut déclencher de la magie, mais seule l'élite est autorisée à l'allumer. Ceux qui n'ont pas accès aux secrets du rituel d'allumage verront leur magie étouffée avant leur treizième anniversaire.
Miss Posteritys Academy for Practical Magic est la meilleure école de petit bois de New York et la riche Emma Harris, douze ans, est habituée au meilleur. Mais quand son père meurt, laissant son sans le sou, Emma est réduite à travailler ses dettes envers Miss Posterity aux côtés d'Izzy, une servante audacieuse qui refuse de laisser sa magie être étouffée, même si la société lui dicte le devoir. Emma et Izzy forment à contrecœur un pacte : si Izzy apprend à Emma comment survivre en tant que serviteur, Emma révélera à Izzy ce qu'elle sait de la magie.
En chemin, ils rencontrent des quiz qui apparaissent littéralement, des bibliothèques timides et des chats qui parlent (c'est-à-dire des dragons de maison). Mais lorsque le petit bois d'un autre étudiant se trompe horriblement mal, révélant les dangers ardents de la magie, Emma et Izzy doivent mettre de côté leurs différences ou risquer que leur magie soit étouffée pour toujours.

Hardback. Etat : Very Good. Heartfelt, fast-paced, and utterly absorbing, The Gilded Girl is Alyssa Colman's sparkling debut novel about determination, spirit, and the magic of friendship. Any child can spark magic, but only the elite are allowed to kindle it. Those denied access to the secrets of the kindling ritual will see their magic snuffed out before their thirteenth birthday. Miss Posterity's Academy for Practical Magic is the best kindling school in New York City--and wealthy twelve-year-old Emma Harris is accustomed to the best. But when her father dies, leaving her penniless, Emma is reduced to working off her debts to Miss Posterity alongside Izzy, a daring servant girl who refuses to let her magic be snuffed out, even if society dictates she must. Emma and Izzy reluctantly form a pact: If Izzy teaches Emma how to survive as a servant, Emma will reveal to Izzy what she knows about magic. Along the way, they encounter quizzes that literally pop, shy libraries, and talking cats (that is, house dragons). But when another student's kindling goes horribly wrong, revealing the fiery dangers of magic, Emma and Izzy must set aside their differences or risk their magic being snuffed out forever. Don't miss the sequel, The Tarnished Garden! Or Alyssa Colman's other middle grade novel, Where Only Storms Grow. N° de réf. du vendeur 00086854925
