Synopsis
A teenage girl unravels lies and magic to solve her father's murder in The Lie Tree, an unforgettable and thought-provoking YA historical fantasy from award-winning novelist Frances Hardinge.
Named A Best Book of the 21st Century (So Far) by Kirkus * Winner of the Los Angeles Times Book Prize for Young Adult Literature and a Boston Globe-Horn Book Award for Fiction Faith Sunderly leads a double life. To most people, she is modest and well mannered--a proper young lady who knows her place. But inside, Faith is burning with questions and curiosity. She keeps sharp watch of her surroundings and, therefore, knows secrets no one suspects her of knowing--like the real reason her family fled Kent to the close-knit island of Vane. And that her father's death was no accident. In pursuit of revenge and justice for the father she idolizes, Faith hunts through his possessions, where she discovers a strange tree. A tree that bears fruit only when she whispers a lie to it. The fruit, in turn, delivers a hidden truth. The tree might hold the key to her father's murder. Or, it might lure the murderer directly to Faith herself, for lies--like fires, wild and crackling--quickly take on a life of their own."synopsis" may belong to another edition of this title.

Paperback. Condition: Fair. Faith Sunderly leads a double life. To most people, she is reliable, dull, trustworthy?a proper young lady who knows her place as inferior to men?but inside, Faith is full of questions and curiosity, and she cannot resist a mystery: an unattended envelope, an unlocked door. She also knows secrets no one suspects her of knowing. For one, she knows that her family moved to the close-knit island of Vane because her famous scientist father was fleeing a reputation-destroying scandal. And when her father is discovered dead shortly thereafter, she knows that he was murdered. In pursuit of justice and revenge, Faith hunts through her father?s possessions and discovers a strange tree. The tree bears fruit only when she whispers a lie to it, and when that fruit is eaten, it delivers a hidden truth. But while the tree might hold the key to her father?s murder, it could also lure his murderer directly to Faith. Seller Inventory # 00110059964
