In a world where fiction is forbidden and truth is a matter of life and death, one young boy must write a story to save humanity...
Georgie Summers has three priorities: survive middle school, perfect his slingshot skills, and take care of his dad. But when Georgie's father is mysteriously abducted, Georgie is determined to find him... even if he has to leave this realm entirely.
He finds himself in the fantastical world of Scatterplot, a hidden land where trained Scribes record human memories to safeguard the truth and order. But not all is well in Scatterplot: an evil force threatens to corrupt those memories and plunge the world into chaos. Teaming up with an unlikely group of friends, Georgie must navigate forests full of thieves to night markets selling illicit magical wares in order find his father, save Scatterplot, and preserve the minds and lives of every person on Earth.
Perfect for fans of Percy Jackson and Impossible Creatures, Isaac Rudansky's GEORGIE SUMMERS AND THE SCRIBES OF SCATTERPLOT spins a magical, heart-pounding tale about the importance of courage, hope, and storytelling. The first in the series, this exciting young reader fantasy is complete with a crack-the-code adventure that will have middle graders aged 8-14 enthralled from beginning to end!
