![]() ![]() This is a perfect book for tweens and early adolescents, though I admit to really immersing myself in the adventure, too. As Kaidu and Rat explore the City, they compete with each other, taunt each other, and challenge each other on the road to becoming allies who teach the adults to look through new lenses. The two become unlikely friends, working to unite all the City’s factions. ![]() He meets Rat, a native of the City, living by her wits on the street. The people who have lived there the longest refuse to use any of those names, and consider their home “The Nameless City.” Kaidu is one of the newest outsiders, a member of the latest nation to occupy the Nameless City, the Dao. Each time it is taken over, the new conquerors give it another name. Since that time, the City, which is strategically located in a mountain pass, has been conquered again and again. The City itself is an ancient one, built by a people long long ago and no one remembers who they were. And the characters are simply remarkable. The artwork is stunning, with all kinds of different perspectives to show the city and the characters. ![]() What a terrific adventure you embark on when you dive into The Nameless City! If you have readers in your family who are fans of the graphic novel genre (yes, please), you’ll want to get your hands on this new series. ![]()
