Metty would miss the enchanted snowmen that tried to steal her hat and scarf whenever she walked past them and the sleighs pulled by teams of mechanical reindeer that, for all of December, had whisked the citizens of New London up and down the winding streets. Like most people, she’d been less excited about the giant Christmas trees that sprouted suddenly from cracks in the pavement.  \nShe hadn’t thought the city could get any more magical after Christmas and New Year ’s Eve, but Founders’ Day was the most important celebration of the year, according to her father. Now banners hung from every building, and all the houses in New London had changed color, turning gold or silver. Firework birds crackled against the clouds, barrels of cotton candy and sticky popcorn had appeared on every corner, and brass bands paraded through the streets.  \nNew London—the world’s first flying capital—soared thousands of feet above the Atlantic Ocean: a bell-shaped metropolis lighting up the clouds.  \nA giant crack ran through the city, separating the wealthy districts at the top from the poorer ones below. Normally, six bridges connected the halves of New London, but tonight, only one was stationary, and people were lining up to take rides on the other five.  \nMetty’s jaw dropped as she watched a bridge collect passengers, then launch into the sky. It flew a lap around the city at a breakneck pace and  \nthen returned. She couldn’t decide whether it looked like the best ride ever or a terrifying death trap.  \n“Never mind those,” the captain said, steering her along the pavement.“We’ll all be flying off soon enough.”  \nMetty glanced at her father in confusion. Everyone still called him “the captain,” even though he’d left the navy years ago.  \n“What’s that supposed to mean?” she asked as they headed for the only bridge still joining the two banks. She hurried across it, grimacing when she looked over the side at the im","cbCaicKQMOJMqcxu","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaicKQMOJMqcxu","pdf",5493215,267,"English","en",105,"# Chapter One: The Rise of New London\n## Founders’ Day transformations in New London\n## The flying capital and the cracked city divide\n## The bridge ride and the captain’s warning\n## Cobblers’ Row and the fate book discovery","[{\"question\":\"What changes in New London during Founders’ Day?\",\"answer\":\"The city rapidly transforms: decorations shift away from Christmas, banners and fireworks appear, houses change color, and parts of New London float high above the ocean.\"},{\"question\":\"Why is Metty uneasy about the bridge and the “surprise”?\",\"answer\":\"The remaining bridge feels eager to soar, and the captain refuses to explain, hinting that Metty’s fate depends on what happens next.\"},{\"question\":\"What book does Metty consult in Cobblers’ Row?\",\"answer\":\"Metty pulls out a book titled THE OFFICIAL BRITISH DICTIONARY OF FATES: Five Hundred Common Fates and Their Meanings.\"}]","Meticulous Jones and the Shadow of Compass | PDF",1785659067,411,{"code":4,"msg":30,"data":31},"ok",{"site_id":23,"language":22,"slug":32,"title":13,"keywords":33,"description":14,"schema_data":34,"social_meta":85,"head_meta":87,"extra_data":89,"updated_unix":27},"meticulous-jones-and-the-shadow-of-compass","",{"@graph":35,"@context":84},[36,53,67],{"@type":37,"itemListElement":38},"BreadcrumbList",[39,43,47,50],{"item":40,"name":41,"@type":42,"position":11},"https://docshare.wps.com","Home","ListItem",{"item":44,"name":45,"@type":42,"position":46},"https://docshare.wps.com/document/","Document",2,{"item":48,"name":12,"@type":42,"position":49},"https://docshare.wps.com/document/story-novel/",3,{"item":51,"name":13,"@type":42,"position":52},"https://docshare.wps.com/document/meticulous-jones-and-the-shadow-of-compass/116415/",4,{"url":51,"name":13,"@type":54,"author":55,"headline":13,"publisher":57,"fileFormat":60,"inLanguage":22,"description":14,"dateModified":61,"datePublished":61,"encodingFormat":60,"isAccessibleForFree":62,"interactionStatistic":63},"DigitalDocument",{"name":9,"@type":56},"Person",{"url":40,"name":58,"@type":59},"DocShare","Organization","application/pdf","2026-08-02",true,{"@type":64,"interactionType":65,"userInteractionCount":4},"InteractionCounter",{"@type":66},"ViewAction",{"@type":68,"mainEntity":69},"FAQPage",[70,76,80],{"name":71,"@type":72,"acceptedAnswer":73},"What changes in New London during Founders’ Day?","Question",{"text":74,"@type":75},"The city rapidly transforms: decorations shift away from Christmas, banners and fireworks appear, houses change color, and parts of New London float high above the ocean.","Answer",{"name":77,"@type":72,"acceptedAnswer":78},"Why is Metty uneasy about the bridge and the “surprise”?",{"text":79,"@type":75},"The remaining bridge feels eager to soar, and the captain refuses to explain, hinting that Metty’s fate depends on what happens next.",{"name":81,"@type":72,"acceptedAnswer":82},"What book does Metty consult in Cobblers’ Row?",{"text":83,"@type":75},"Metty pulls out a book titled THE OFFICIAL BRITISH DICTIONARY OF FATES: Five Hundred Common Fates and Their Meanings.","https://schema.org",{"og:url":51,"og:type":86,"og:title":13,"og:site_name":58,"og:description":14},"article",{"robots":88,"canonical":51},"index,follow",{"doc_id":7,"site_id":23},{"code":4,"msg":5,"data":91},[92,95,99,103,108,113,118,123,128,131,135],{"id":11,"doc_module":4,"doc_module_name":45,"category_name":12,"show_sort_weight":93,"slug":94},90,"story-novel",{"id":46,"doc_module":4,"doc_module_name":45,"category_name":96,"show_sort_weight":97,"slug":98},"Literature",80,"literature",{"id":52,"doc_module":4,"doc_module_name":45,"category_name":100,"show_sort_weight":101,"slug":102},"Exam",70,"exam",{"id":104,"doc_module":4,"doc_module_name":45,"category_name":105,"show_sort_weight":106,"slug":107},5,"Comic",60,"comic",{"id":109,"doc_module":4,"doc_module_name":45,"category_name":110,"show_sort_weight":111,"slug":112},6,"Technology",50,"technology",{"id":114,"doc_module":4,"doc_module_name":45,"category_name":115,"show_sort_weight":116,"slug":117},7,"Healthcare",40,"healthcare",{"id":119,"doc_module":4,"doc_module_name":45,"category_name":120,"show_sort_weight":121,"slug":122},8,"Research & Report",30,"research-report",{"id":124,"doc_module":4,"doc_module_name":45,"category_name":125,"show_sort_weight":126,"slug":127},9,"Religion & Spirituality",20,"religion-spirituality",{"id":126,"doc_module":4,"doc_module_name":45,"category_name":129,"show_sort_weight":126,"slug":130},"World Cup","world-cup",{"id":132,"doc_module":4,"doc_module_name":45,"category_name":133,"show_sort_weight":132,"slug":134},10,"Lifestyle","lifestyle",{"id":136,"doc_module":4,"doc_module_name":45,"category_name":137,"show_sort_weight":104,"slug":138},19,"General","general"]
