Summary
Winner of the Branford Boase award, Fly By Night is the stunning YA fantasy novel from Frances Hardinge, author of the Costa Award winning The Lie Tree.
As the realm struggles to maintain an uneasy peace after years of civil war and tyranny, a twelve-year-old orphan called Mosca Mye and her loyal companion, a cantankerous goose, are about to become the unlikely heroes of a radical revolution.
Mosca is on the run, heading for the city of Mandelion. There she finds herself living by her wits among cut-throat highwaymen, spies and smugglers. With peril at every turn, Mosca uncovers a dark plot to terrorize the people of Mandelion, and soon merry mayhem leads to murder . . .
Fly By Night has an unforgettable cast of characters and an inspiring message at its heart – sometimes the power of words can change the world.
Fly By Night is followed by its thrilling sequel, Twilight Robbery.

A fun romp
As an adult I love Hardinge's novels. This is no exception. It takes an interesting world premise and spins a thoroughly enjoyable story within it. Just a jolly good listen, don't be put off by the 'children's literature' tag - this is a book for everyone who loves a good story in an odd world!

brilliant
Hilarious as are Frances Hardinge's other books. I love the free thinking of the heroine. Really wonderful.
