Sophie Quire and the Last Storyguard by Jonathan Auxier

Peter Nimble is back!

Sophie Quire's life changes forever when she is caught trying to rescue some books from being burned for being full of "nonsense".  She is rescued from Inquisitor Prigg by the boy Peter Nimble who later asks her assistance in mending an old book.  This book will lead Sophie and Peter on an adventure to save the world . . . .

This is the second book featuring Peter Nimble.  It is fascinating to see how attaining the ability to see changes Peter.  It is also interesting to meet Sophie and learn how a bookish intellectual can save the world.  Hopefully, more Peter Nimble and Sophie Quire books are written.
