What is The Black Book of Secrets about?

When Ludlow Fitch flees his cruel parents, he arrives in a remote village and meets Joe Zabbidou, a mysterious pawnbroker with an unusual trade: he buys people’s darkest secrets. Ludlow becomes Joe’s assistant, recording each confession in an ancient leather-bound book. But the villagers’ secrets are dangerous, and Joe’s power over them soon creates fear and suspicion. As Ludlow uncovers the truth about the pawnbroker—and confronts the secret he has been hiding—he must decide who he can trust.
