Inkbound: Meticulous Jones and the Skull Tattoo

Inkbound: Meticulous Jones and the Skull Tattoo by Philippa Leathley
 
On her tenth birthday, Meticulous “Metty” Jones receives her magical fate—just like every child in her world. But instead of a destiny filled with adventure or discovery, Metty’s tattoo reveals something terrifying: a skull, marking her as a future murderer. When her father vanishes without a trace and she’s whisked to the dazzling, mysterious city of New London, Metty is thrust into a spellbinding world of secret societies, strange clues, and dangerous truths.
 
Perfect for fans of Nevermoor and The Swifts, this is a gripping, imaginative story about courage, identity, and rewriting your fate.
