The Kindler: A TynkerVille Story - 6427

Will Kala Blaise become the next Kindler and save Imagination from being destroyed? Can she forgive her family's betrayal before all the world's minds go dark? The Kindler is a dark twist on Charlie and the Chocolate Factory that's perfect for fans of The Invention of Hugo Cabret. - Average Goodreads Rating - Average Amazon Rating Eleven-year-old Kala Blaise is next in line to be Kindler, the storyteller in charge of building the world’s Imagination. For centuries, Kindlers have done this by replenishing Aeverum – Imagination’s flame – while reading stories inside the Holloton Library. As long as that blue fire burns, the world’s minds will stay alight. But Kala has a problem: Aeverum is shrinking, and no one will listen to her stories. All anyone cares about is TynkerVille, the massive toy factory just built in the center of town. TynkerVille is no ordinary factory. It’s home to the Designer, the shadowy inventor who vanished after releasing his Tynks: gorgeous, mechanical toys that captured the minds of everyone in Holloton. Kala does her best to ignore TynkerVille, until her parents – the town’s watchmaker and current Kindler – are abducted behind the factory’s metal walls. Kala journeys through silver forests, wooden skyscrapers and an underground city in search of her parents, until she reaches the very heart of TynkerVille. There, she finds a plot to destroy Imagination and send everyone’s minds into unending darkness. She also uncovers a secret: Kala’s parents know much more about TynkerVille than she ever suspected. Will Kala become the next Kindler and save Imagination from being destroyed? Can she unearth her parents' secret past and save them before Aeverum goes dark?
