À propos de cet ebook
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.

Quelques mots sur l'auteur
Frances Hardinge spent 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 she got a job at a software company. However, by this time a persistent friend had 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. This is Frances second novel and she is already writing her third.
