Goldie Roth is a trained thief and a skilled liar. Along with her friend Toadspit, she's supposed to be one of the Keepers of the mysterious Museum of Dunt. But although she desperately wants to be a Keeper, she will not leave her sick parents to do so.
But when Toadspit's sister Bonnie is stolen, he and Goldie are forced to follow the child-stealers to the neighboring city of Spoke. Along the way, Toadspit too is captured, and Goldie is caught up in the Festival of Lies, where every word she says means something else and no one can be trusted. There, Goldie discovers some dangerous secrets—secrets that the child-stealers will kill to protect. She will need all her skills as a thief and a liar if she is to survive and save her friends.

      Goldie Roth knows she has to follow her destiny and become the Fifth Keeper. But first she has to rescue her friends, Bonnie and Toadspit, who have been kidnapped in this second book of the Keepers trilogy. Narrator Claudia Black provides a reading full of accents, rougher for the people Goldie encounters in the city of Spoke and more refined for those from her home city. Black captures all the excitement and action, adjusting her pace to reflect Goldie's state of mind. The most memorable aspect of Black's reading is the growl she uses for the voice of the cat that befriends Goldie on her quest. The cliff-hanger ending will leave listeners anticipating the conclusion and hoping Black will be the one reading it. E.N. Winner of AudioFile Earphones Award (c) AudioFile 2011, Portland, Maine
