So Audrey keeps her writing a secret. That is, until she meets a mysterious old woman who seems able to read her mind. Audrey is surprised at how readily she reveals her secret to the woman. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e One day the old woman gives Audrey a peculiar bronze pen and tells her to \"use it wisely and to good purpose.\" It turns out to be just perfect for writing her stories with. But as Audrey writes, odd things start happening. Did Beowulf, her dog, just speak to her? And what is that bumping under her bed at night? It seems that whatever she writes with the pen comes true. However, things don't always happen in the way that she wants or expects. In fact, it's quite difficult to predict what writing with the pen will do. Could the pen be more of a curse than a gift? Or will Audrey be able to rewrite the future in the way that she wishes---and save her father's life?\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Atheneum Books for Young Readers\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 02\/24\/2009\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781416942085\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 208\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.30lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 7.40h x 5.10w x 0.60d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAccelerated Reader Quiz #\/Name: \u003c\/b\u003e120219 \/ Bronze Pen\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eReading Level:\u003c\/b\u003e 6 \/ \u003cb\u003eInterest Level:\u003c\/b\u003e Middle Grade \/ \u003cb\u003ePoint Value:\u003c\/b\u003e 7\u003cbr\u003e","brand":"Zilpha Keatley Snyder","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":43140490723509,"sku":"9781416942085","price":5.09,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0473\/0804\/6492\/files\/img_49625008-042e-4caa-a904-ec3654f48baa.jpg?v=1695700312","url":"https:\/\/pastforward.org\/products\/the-bronze-pen-9781416942085","provider":"Past Forward","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
