The Patron Thief of Bread
Lindsay EagarJohn MesjakHere’s my theory, hear me out - the new Lindsay Eagar MG novel #PatronThiefofBread coming out in May is the perfect dose of alternate universe medieval fantasy for kids who aren’t ready for full-on Rothfuss. Baking, pickpockets, gargoyles, found families. Magic. @Candlewick
