In the city of Jewel Goldie lives with her small family. It is traditional for children under the age of 12 to wear a silver chain around their wrists and to be connected to an adult. This to keep them safe from any danger. It is Goldie's Separation Day and before the chain is ceremoniously cut, there is a huge explosion and the celebration is cancelled. In desperation Goldie steals the scissors and cuts her chain. Goldie is free but is also now a criminal. In the story that follows, Goldie comes to live in the Museum of Dunt where she discovers she has untested powers. She makes a friend named Toadspit (got to love the names!) and is taught by Sinew, Olga Ciavolga, a dog named Broo and Herro Berg. Is the Museum the safest place for her? Is Broo really a small white dog or something more sinister? Are the City Fathers trying to make the city safe or is there something else going on? Fans of The Hunger Games would like this book.
