The Wren Street Dispatch

In the fictional English railway town of Rookbridge in 1911, three young people connected to a small print shop investigate local stories. The danger lies in what people will believe and whose account reaches print. Nell wants to be more than the person who sorts type; she must learn that printing a confident accusation is easier than repairing it.
