A National Book Award finalist and instant fantasy classic about the power of community, generosity, books, and baked goods, from the author of the beloved Newbery Medal winner The Girl Who Drank the Moon. StoneintheGlen, once a lovely town, has fallen on hard times. Fires, floods, and other calamities have caused the people to lose their library, their school, their park, and even their neighborliness. The people put their faith in the Mayor, a dazzling fellow who promises he alone can help. After all, he is a famous dragon slayer. (At least, no one has seen a dragon in his presence.) Only the clever children of the Orphan House and the kindly Ogress at the edge of town can see how dire the towns problems are.Then one day a child goes missing from the Orphan House. At the Mayors suggestion, all eyes turn to the Ogress. The Orphans know this cant be: the Ogress, along with a flock of excellent crows, secretly delivers gifts to the people of StoneintheGlen.But how can the Orphans tell the story of the Ogresss goodness to people who refuse to listen? And how can they make their deluded neighbors see the real villain in their midst?
