This book comes from an award-winning author. It is another breathtakingly original modern classic in the making.Verdigris n. a blue-green rust that tarnishes ageing and forgotten copper coins, altering them entirely...When Ryan and his friends are caught stranded and penniless late one night, they steal some coins from a well for their bus fare home. Soon after, strange things begin to happen. Peculiar marks tingle on Ryan's knuckles, light bulbs mysteriously explode and a terrified Chelle starts speaking words that aren't her own.Then the well witch appears, with her fountains for eyes and gargled demands. From now on, the friends must serve her...and the wishes that lie rotting at the bottom of her well.In the tradition of truly fantastic storytelling, "Verdigris Deep" is darkly witty, utterly unexpected and shiver-down-the-spine sinister.

Frances Hardinge spent a large part of her childhood in a huge old house that inspired her to write strange stories from an early age. She read English at Oxford University, then got a job at a software company. However, a few years later a persistent friend finally managed to bully Frances into sending a few chapters of Fly By Night, her first children's novel, to a publisher. Macmillan made her an immediate offer. The book went on to publish to huge critical acclaim and win the Branford Boase First Novel Award. She has since written many highly acclaimed children's novels including, Fly By Night's sequel, Twilight Robbery, as well as the Carnegie shortlisted Cuckoo Song and the Costa Book of the Year winner, The Lie Tree.
