About This Book
Reach for this book when your child is grappling with their own identity and feels the pressure of family expectations or the need to right a systemic wrong. It is a powerful choice for the middle grade reader who finds solace in music and art, but feels ready to tackle more complex questions about morality and the gray areas between hero and villain. Kyarra, a novice Singer, embarks on a high-stakes quest to confront a darkness that has plagued her world. While the setting is a rich high-fantasy landscape, the core of the story is Kyarra's search for the truth about her parents and her own voice. It addresses themes of legacy and self-confidence within a fast-paced adventure, making it appropriate for ages 10 to 14. Parents will appreciate how the story uses the magic of song to explore the courage it takes to speak up for what is right.
