Even the smallest wish can be dangerous. Thatâs why the Collectors are always keeping watch.
The Collectors sweeps listeners into a hidden world where wishes are stolen and dreams have a price. Fast-paced, witty, and riveting, this contemporary fantasy adventure has magic woven through every page.
It's the first book in a two-book series from Jacqueline West, the New York Timesâbestselling author of The Books of Elsewhere series. For fans of Serafina and the Black Cloak, The Isle of the Lost, and The Secret Keepers.
Van has always been an outsider. Most people donât notice him. But he notices them. And he notices the small trinkets they drop, or lose, or throw awayâthatâs why his collection is full of treasures. Then one day, Van notices a girl stealing pennies from a fountain, and everything changes. He follows the girl, Pebble, and uncovers an underground world full of wishes and the people who collect them. Apparently not all wishes are good and even good wishes often have unintended consequencesâand the Collectors have made it their duty to protect us. But they aren't the only ones who have their eyes on the worldâs wishesâand they may not be the good guys, after all. Â
Jacqueline West, author of the New York Timesâbestselling Books of Elsewhere series, draws readers into a story about friendship, magic, and the gray area between good and evil. The Collectors is for fans of Cassie Beasleyâs Circus Mirandus and Jonathan Auxierâs The Night Gardener.āĻŽā§āĻ˛ā§āĻ¯āĻžāĻāĻāĻ¨ āĻā§°ā§ āĻĒā§°ā§āĻ¯āĻžāĻ˛ā§āĻāĻ¨āĻžāĻ¸āĻŽā§āĻš
