I’ve been trying to figure out why The Verdigris Pawn feels so much like a classic, timeless middle grade fantasy in the vein of Diana Wynne Jones or Kelly Barnhill and here’s what I’ve come up with. if he can go from pawn to player before the Land tears itself apart. But it just might be Beau who wields the power he seeks. Teaming up with a fiery runaway boy, their mission quickly turns into something far greater as sinister forces long lurking in the shadows prepare to make their final move-no matter what the cost. For the first time, Beau begins to question everything he’s ever been told and sets off in search of a rebel who might hold the key to setting things right. That is, until Beau meets a girl who shows him the secrets his father has kept hidden. With little control over his future, Beau is kept locked away, just another pawn in his father’s quest for ultimate power. At least, that’s what Beau’s father has been telling him his whole life, since Beau is the exact opposite of what the heir should be.
