One of the 4 titles shortlisted for the Guardian Children's Book Prize 2011.
Award winning Frances Hardinge’s first novel Fly By Night starred Mosca Mye and Eponymous Clent. Now they are back for a thrilling new adventure in the city of Toll, a magical place which no one can enter or leave without paying a price. With an inventive cast of remarkable characters, a city which has a life of its own and a lot of trickery and treachery, this is a hugely entertaining roller coaster of a fantasy that picks up threads from previous stories while creating a magic of its own.
Titles longlisted for the 2011 Guardian Children's Book Prize:
My Name is Mina by David Almond
Small Change for Stuart by Lissa Evans
Twilight Robbery by Frances Hardinge

Synopsis
Twilight Robbery by Frances Hardinge
Mosca Mye and Eponymous Clent are in trouble again. Escaping disaster by the skin of their teeth, they find refuge in Toll, the strange gateway town where visitors may neither enter nor leave without paying a price. By day, the city is well-mannered and orderly; by night, it's the haunt of rogues and villains. Wherever there's a plot, there's sure to be treachery, and wherever there's treachery, there's sure to be trouble - and where there's trouble, Clent, Mosca and the web-footed apocalypse Saracen can't be far behind. But as past deeds catch up with them and old enemies appear, it looks as if this time there's no way out ...
Reviews
'.. characters are richly described and colourful, the action vivid and breathtaking .. A suspenseful tale with an inspiring and unlikely heroine, it raised hairs on the back of my neck.' Brynnie Rafe, 10, one of the winners of the Guardian Young Critics' Prize 2011.
