Fell

Reach for this book when your teen feels like an outsider or is grappling with the burden of high expectations. It is a sophisticated, atmospheric choice for adolescents who find solace in nature and are navigating the transition from childhood dependency to independent identity. The story follows Fell, a wolf with the gift of second sight, and Alina, a young woman treated as an outcast in her medieval village. Their parallel journeys of survival and self-discovery explore what it means to belong when the world insists you are different. While it features intense action and a dark, historical setting, it provides a powerful metaphor for the strength found in one's unique abilities. It is an excellent bridge for readers moving toward more complex, philosophical fantasy that honors the emotional intelligence of the teenage years.
