About This Book
Reach for this book when your child is grappling with feelings of powerlessness or needs to see that courage is born from small acts of survival. Nevertell follows twelve year old Lina, born in a Siberian labor camp, who escapes into the frozen wilderness with her best friend. While the setting is a stark historical labor camp, the story quickly transforms into a high stakes fantasy as Lina is hunted by a witch and shadow wolves. It is a powerful exploration of resilience and finding one's inner voice against a backdrop of systemic cruelty. While the early chapters depict hunger and loss, the narrative shifts into a fast paced adventure filled with folklore and hope. It is ideal for middle grade readers who enjoy stories about finding light in the darkest of places.
