Publisher's Synopsis
Grade Level: 7-9 Age Level:12-14 Listening Level: Grades 4-6 Melkin Womper is thrilled to escape his dull future as a weaver and cultivate his artistic talents when he's apprenticed to Ambrosius Blenk, one of Vlam's most famous masters. He's particularly awed by the colors he can now use, since color is a very expensive Pleasure controlled by the scarlet-clad Fifth Mystery. But when Mel inadvertently stumbles into a battle between the Fifth Mystery and the Rainbow Rebellion, an underground band fighting to make Pleasures affordable for all, Mel and his friends, Ludo and Wren, must use Blenk's paintings as portals and enter the Mirrorscape, facing monsters and mazes, talking houses and towering trash heaps, to find the master and save him . . . and themselves.
