Back Cover Synopsis:
In the land of Pindrop, noise is forbidden. Not even the sweet song of a bird is tolerated. But Aurora hears music in her head. So while she does her whispering exercises like other good children and wears her regulation Hushcloth, she dares to dream of a different life. It's not surprising then that Zantalalia should be the one to offer her more than dreams. Banished to the Water World because she refused to stop singing, Zantalalia has secretly returned to Pindrop in time for the Sunwatch.
Why has she returned on the eve of the winter festival? What is the Song Spinner? Who has put the songs inside Aurora's head? And what chance do dreamers like Aurora have against Captain Nizzle of the Noise Police, who enforces the Hush Laws at any cost? Aurora is determined to find the answers in this lyrical fantasy with a score of fascinating characters.
