Elodie (A Tale of Two Castles) and detective dragon Meenore, her mentor, along with shape-shifting ogre Count Jonty Um, travel to Elodie's home island of Lahnt, where the Replica, a magical sculpture, has been stolen. Elodie interviews, observes, and detects in order to determine the how, why, and who of the theft. Levine's invented world, with its quirky inhabitants and distinctive vocabulary, is pleasantly unpredictable.
