Inkbound

Enter an extraordinary magical adventure about family, fate, and finding the courage to be yourself. A remarkable debut! Meticulous Jones-known to her friends as Metty-receives her fate, as all children do, in the form of a magical tattoo on her hand. But the skull that appears points to one thing: Metty's destiny is to become a murderer. What ensues is a heart-pounding tale about forging your own path. Fizzing with atmosphere, danger, magic, and mystery, this fantasy will keep kids hooked from the start. A bold heroine and a darkly comic voice make this debut perfect for fans of Nevermoor and the Swifts. Inkbound's world of magical ink and fate tattoos is utterly unique, yet the writing feels classic.
