The Girl Who Made a Mouse From Her Grandfather’s Whiskers
“Kenneth Hunter Gordon weaves a science fiction fantasy fable into a heartfelt tale that would please the Brothers Grimm.”
—Johnny Worthen, best-selling author of The Unseen trilogy, Things Bequeathed and the Coronam Trilogy
In a distant future, a little girl named Anny makes toy mice out of scraps and dust. Anny has never seen a real mouse, just as she’s never seen the planet her family came from many generations ago. All she knows is her home, Tsedt: an isolated village of human colonists’ descendants and their friendly helper robots.
But then one day the Amau arrive in Tsedt: plastic people with luminous eyes, intent on taking young humans to the distant city of Harbor to be educated. It’s not long before Anny is flown away to a place unlike any she’s seen before.

— Adrienne Martini for Locus Magazine
"One Bronze Knuckle is a journey to be taken by relishing the descriptions of the people, places, and events."
—Guild Master Gaming
"A witch's tale beguiling in story and cadence, One Bronze Knuckle is magical for its humor and its characters, keeping you spinning without ever losing direction."
