Publisher's summary

In the tradition of truly fantastic storytelling, Verdigris Deep is a darkly witty, utterly creepy and clever novel by Frances Hardinge, author of The Lie Tree.

Verdigris n. a blue-green rust that tarnishes ageing and forgotten copper coins, altering them entirely....

One evening, Ryan and his friends steal some coins from a well. Soon after, strange things begin to happen. Peculiar marks burn on Ryan's knuckles and light bulbs mysteriously explode. Then the well witch appears, with her fountains for eyes and gargled demands. From now on the children must serve her - and the wishes rotting at the bottom of her well.

A very enjoyable journey!

I really enjoyed the story! as usual Frances's storytelling is amazing, the progress of the story
is so fun, I never got bored of it, I really love the character development and how the story turned
out at the end, seeing some character's flaws and insecurities.

I understand that its not everyone's taste since its a young adult/middle grade but I really loved it.

I recommend it for anyone who's into the genre!
