More about the book
A #1 New York Times bestseller from two-time Newbery Medalist Kate DiCamillo and two-time Caldecott Medalist Sophie Blackall, this enchanting tale explores fate, love, and the transformative power of words. In a time of war, a mysterious girl named Beatryce is discovered by Gentle Brother Edik at a monastery, feverish and clinging to a goat named Answelica. As Edik cares for her, he learns of her perilous secret: the king is searching for her, and Edik knows the prophecy he wrote that ties them together. Beatryce, filled with stories of queens, mermaids, and wolves, embarks on a journey into a dark wood to confront the castle of someone who wishes her harm. Yet, she is not alone; those who care for her—a devoted monk, a former king, a brave boy wielding a sword, and a determined goat—will tirelessly seek her out. This knowledge gives her strength and purpose. With timeless themes, a memorable cast, and a magical medieval backdrop, DiCamillo’s lyrical narrative, complemented by Blackall’s evocative illustrations, creates a captivating collaboration between two literary masters.
