Vale 一直夢想成為金屬工匠的學徒，但在 Siannerra，所有技藝都由公會掌控，高昂的學徒費用讓沒有公會背景的家庭難以跨越門檻。直到來自異鄉的 Maestro Giuseppe 為建造城裡第一座天文鐘而來，他不在意出身與規矩，看見了 Vale 的天分，邀請他進入工坊學習。
然而，公會不容許任何人破壞既有秩序。當夢想受到威脅，Vale 與朋友們開始尋找改變的方法。本書是 Ink Girls 的獨立姊妹作，由 New York Times 暢銷作家 Marieke Nijkamp 與插畫家 Sylvia Bi 合作，以充滿細節的奇幻城市為舞台，融入階級差距、勞工權益、罷工與集體行動等主題。
Junior Library Guild Gold Standard Selection
“A beautiful story about the power in raising voices together, community care, class issues, workers’ rights, and striking.” – School Library Journal (starred review)
One small voice has the power to change everything in this dazzling middle grade graphic novel from New York Times bestselling author Marieke Nijkamp and artist Sylvia Bi. The stand-alone companion to the acclaimed Ink Girls is a perfect fit for fans of Wendy Xu and Molly Knox Ostertag.
Vale has always dreamed of being a metalworker’s apprentice. But in Siannerra, the guilds rule with an iron fist, and their apprenticeship fees are impossibly high. So Vale and their guildless family must make do with the pennies and scraps they’re able to cobble together with work on the docks or in the market.
Until Maestro Giuseppe arrives from abroad, determined to build the city’s first astronomical clock. He doesn’t care for fees or exclusionary practices—and he sees Vale’s talent. He invites Vale into his workshop, and for a while Vale believes all their dreams are coming true.
But everything in Siannerra belongs to the guilds, and if anyone tries to break free, there are consequences. Sometimes the gravest of consequences. Still, Vale refuses to stop dreaming. Or fighting. With the help of their friends, they plan to take on the might of the guilds. And together, they may just be strong enough to bend iron to their will.
With nuanced and instantly loveable characters and a fully realized, vibrantly illustrated setting, bestselling author Marieke Nijkamp and illustrator Sylvia Bi show once again how anyone—no matter their age—can change their world. An excellent choice for fans of the Lightfall and Wingbearer series.
