When she is ten years old, Bronte receives the news that her parents have been killed by pirates. According to their “faery cross-stitch”-bound will, Bronte must embark on a solo quest across multiple kingdoms delivering specific gifts to her ten aunts. If she fails, her hometown will be destroyed. Bronte’s chatty stream-of-consciousness voice is skillfully captured by Sanderson’s upbeat British-accented narration. Readily distinguishable characterizations add depth and quirkiness to the personalities of a vast array of aunts and fantastical creatures, and the transitions from Bronte to the supporting characters are seamless.
