Description

Magic is attracted to Talina, and Talina is attracted to magic, with startling results. Talina in the Tower is the tale of a girl who is more passionate than she is careful. Talina Molin, the daughter of an archivist, has earned herself the reputation of being the most impudent girl in Venice. When she's not campaigning for egrets' rights or terrorizing the school librarian, Talina adores reading, cooking, and magic. When she mixes all three together, she cooks up more than she had bargained for. The story takes place in a sinister late nineteenth-century Venice, one inhabited not just by frightened people but also by ferocious foul-mouthed tomcats, argumentative rats, and evil vultures.
