The Book Eaters

Hidden away on the Yorkshire Moors, there’s a secret clan whose members eat books and retain their content after eating them. Spy novels are a peppery snack, romances sweet and delicious. Eating maps helps them remember destinations, while naughty children are forced to eat dictionary pages.

Devon belongs to this reclusive family. The men feast on tales of adventure, women on fairy tales and cautionary stories. But when Devon’s son is born with a disturbing hunger not for books but human minds, she learns real life doesn’t always end happily.
