A New York Times Editors' Choice SelectionSummer 2013 Kids' Indie Next List Top Ten Selection (#6) "Featuring ingenious magic (complete with profuse chalk-drawing-style diagrams and illustrations from McSweeney), feisty characters, and a complex plot likely to unwind over several volumes, this high-spirited, exciting story will appeal to readers of all ages."- Publishers Weekly (starred review) "Fantasy readers should devour this well-crafted mix of action and setup, enriched by thoroughly detailed cultural and historical background and capped by a distinctly unsettling twist."- Kirkus Reviews (starred review) " The Rithmatist contains some very good surprises on the way to a pleasingly nifty conclusion."- The New York Times Book Review "Part fantasy, part alternate history, part steampunk, this story succeeds nicely... . An exciting ending and skillful setup of a sequel will have readers hungry for the next volume."- School Library Journal, " The Rithmatist , while it's definitely as clear and exciting as a YA novel should be, is every bit as deep and richly invented as the best of Sanderson's adult novels…. Sanderson at his best, for adults and young readers alike."-Orson Scott Card, New York Times bestselling author of Ender's Game "Brandon Sanderson has created an ingenious new martial art where the chalk is mightier than the sword. In his alternative, dangerous version of the world, brave young soldiers must battle back dark forces armed with the nerves of a warrior and the skills of an artist. It's a fun read with a unique take on fighting where if you can't draw…you die."-D.J. MacHale, New York Times bestselling author of Pendragon and SYLO . "There are very few authors about whom I can say, without a doubt, that I will read every single book they ever write. Brandon Sanderson is a member of that club. He's brilliant and has an imagination I've only seen in the likes of Stephen King and J.K. Rowling."-James Dashner, New York Times bestselling author of The Maze Runner "Brimming with wit, mystery, and enough ideas to make ten other books jealous, The Rithmatist is boldly entertaining and wildly original. Armedius Academy is the first magic school that really teaches magic-the chalk-based Rithmatics, both a mystic science and a delightful visual art-and I have never had more fun learning anything. The creepy climax had me on the edge of my seat, and the slam-bang finish made me stand up and cheer."-Dan Wells, author of I Am Not a Serial Killer and Partials "[ The Hero of Ages ] brings the Mistborn epic fantasy trilogy to a dramatic and surprising climax….

Synopsis
From #1 New York Times bestselling author Brandon Sanderson: his debut novel for the young adult audience More than anything, Joel wants to be a Rithmatist. Chosen by the Master in a mysterious inception ceremony, Rithmatists have the power to infuse life into two-dimensional figures known as Chalklings. Rithmatists are humanity's only defense against the Wild Chalklings--merciless creatures that leave mangled corpses in their wake. Having nearly overrun the territory of Nebrask, the Wild Chalklings now threaten all of the American Isles. As the son of a lowly chalkmaker at Armedius Academy, Joel can only watch as Rithmatist students study the magical art that he would do anything to practice. Then students start disappearing--kidnapped from their rooms at night, leaving trails of blood. Assigned to help the professor who is investigating the crimes, Joel and his friend Melody find themselves on the trail of an unexpected discovery--one that will change Rithmatics--and their world--forever. Bestselling author Brandon Sanderson brings his unique brand of epic storytelling to the teen audience with an engrossing tale of danger and suspense--the first of a series. With his trademark skills in world-building, Sanderson has created a magic system that is so inventive and detailed that that readers who appreciate games of strategy and tactics just may want to bring Rithmatics to life in our world.
