Chris Moriarty grew up in New York surrounded by a loud and zany family much like Sacha's. She wrote The Inquisitor's Apprentice so her children could read a fantasy that celebrates their New York Jewish heritage. Chris has also written several award-winning science fiction novels. She lives in upstate New York.
"Moriarty's novel is chock-full of period detail (both in the author's confident prose and Geyer's occasional pen-and-ink illustrations), feisty character dynamics, and a solid sense of humor. It's a fascinating example of alternate history that leaves the door open for future mysteries."--Publishers Weekly, starred review "A marvelous, mystical romp that doesn't ignore reality. A hint of a possible sequel whets readers' appetite for more: Yes, please!"--Kirkus, starred review "Moriarty's thoroughly imagined alternate history has a killer premise...The mystery unfolds at a heady clip." -Booklist "Spoiler Alert: It's awesome." --Fuse #8 Blog on School Library Journal "A wonderfully inventive and fascinating story of the clash of ancient magic and early-twentieth century technology. A compelling book that I read in a single sitting and highly recommend."--Garth Nix, New York Times bestselling author of Sabriel and the Seventh Tower series "Fantastic . . . a great magic trick."--Cory Doctorow, New York Times bestselling author of Little Brother "You'll fall right into The Inquisitor's Apprentice by Chris Moriarty."-- Robin Hobb, international best-selling author of the Rain Wilds Chronicles "Cory Doctorow told me I would love this, and he was so right!"--Ellen Kushner --
