About the Book: In the city of Helm, magic has run amok, making everyday life perilous as objects and places transform. The true heroes who keep the chaos in check aren’t the magicians, but the cleaners. The story follows twelve-year-old Ward, an ambitious cleaner who wants to join the prestigious League of Cleaners. His quest to pass three difficult tests is derailed when his friend vanishes and dangerous, magic-eating monsters begin to tear holes in reality.
