About This Book
Reach for this book when your child feels like their world is shifting or they are struggling to find a place where they truly fit in. It is a perfect choice for the young reader who feels like an outsider or is facing a major life transition, such as moving to a new city or starting at a new school. Through the lens of a grand fantasy quest, the story explores the deep emotional need for sanctuary and the strength found in chosen families.
