About This Book
Reach for this book when your child is feeling overlooked or underestimated and needs a high-stakes adventure to remind them of their own inner resourcefulness. It is an ideal choice for the middle grade reader who feels like they do not quite fit into the status quo and finds comfort in stories where the underdog must outsmart powerful, established figures to save the people they love. Set in a future where mythological gods have returned to rule Earth, the story follows seventeen year old Tae Rames as she navigates a world of digital secrets and ancient deities. When her curiosity leads to the kidnapping of her family, she must brave a dangerous island prison to free the trickster god Loki. The book explores deep themes of sibling loyalty, the courage to question authority, and the discovery of hidden talents. While the protagonist is seventeen, the tone and quest structure resonate strongly with the 10 to 12 age range, offering a bridge between classic mythology and futuristic science fiction.
