Woebegone’s Warehouse of Words ebok

Six desperate Words.

Two fearless Speakers.

One audacious quest to reclaim the truth,

if such a thing can still be found.

In a world where you must pay a price to speak, Speakers have to buy words to use them. At the click of a button, the flesh-and-ink Words at a warehouse are boxed and shipped to stay alive.

Everything changes when fifteen-year-olds Asha and Zeb break the rules and graffiti a wall. They collide head-on with the tyrannical Word Bloc and its sinister leader Gunther Glib. For him, power is about controlling what can be said, even if it means destroying the Words and forever silencing their Speakers.

In a losing battle, a dying Word urges her friends to escape to the forgotten Wood the Words first came from. As the paths of the Words and their Speakers intersect, they embark on an epic journey to fight a brutal regime and find what they stand for.

A startling, scorching blaze of an adventure from Crossword Award-winning author Payal Kapadia, Woebegone's Warehouse of Words is a compelling cry for the freedom of speakers, and their words.
