Ink girls

Eleven-year-old Cinzia is a printer’s apprentice. She adores Mestra Aronne for taking her in – most guilds don’t have room for apprentices with a crippled leg – and she loves life in the raggedy workshop that smells of paper and printing, where secrets and stories are always circulating. So when Mestra Aronne is imprisoned for publishing accusations against the ruling family, Cinzia will do anything to prove that Mestra Aronne only told the truth. From New York Times-bestselling author Marieke Nijkamp and illustrator Sylvia Bi, this debut middle grade graphic novel celebrates the power that everyone – even those often overlooked – has to create change.
