10th anniversary edition of the award-winning THE WORDSMITH by Laureate na nÓg, Ireland’s Children’s Literature Laureate Patricia Forde

How many words do you need to survive? “Love”, “hope”, “freedom” – in the dystopian future of Ark, after climate change disaster, these words are being banned. One girl takes stand against this loss of language – she is the Wordsmith. Winner of a White Raven Award from the International Youth Library and shortlisted for the Children’s Books Ireland Book of the Year, The Wordsmith is a beautiful and gripping dystopian story of how words make us who we are.
