Withdrawn
Something has walked down to the end of Cal’s lane wearing his own face, the wrong way round.
It wants Isla. It cannot cross the kerb.
Out along the shelves, the keepers are working down the row with a plain knife. When they reach Cal’s book, nothing on it will ever be heard again.
Ruth has one word to say to it. Cal has his father’s paring knife, and a plan nobody has ever tried. There is one way out of a book whole, and no one has ever taken it.
Withdrawn is the final book of Unread, after Spine and Bookmark: the end of Vellum’s tragedy, and of a family that has to decide what to keep, and what to let go unread.
