About This Book
Reach for this book when your child is grappling with the weight of expectations or feels like their true self doesn't fit the 'mold' society has created for them. It is a powerful tool for children who may feel like outsiders because of their physical appearance, heritage, or internal struggles with anger and power. Thom is a young girl who possesses super strength she never asked for, and in this sequel, she must navigate a celestial war while deciding what kind of leader she actually wants to be. This story dives deep into themes of loyalty, the complexity of friendship, and the difficult choice between doing what is easy and doing what is right. It is perfectly suited for middle grade readers (ages 8 to 12) who enjoy high stakes fantasy and mythology. Parents will appreciate how the book handles the 'anti-hero' journey, showing that even good people can make mistakes and that identity is something we choose, not something we are born with.
