About This Book
Reach for this book when your teenager is struggling with the feeling of being an outsider or is navigating the high-stakes social landscape of a new school. It serves as a gentle mirror for the internal conflict of wanting to fit in while discovering that your unique, sometimes scary, differences are actually your greatest strengths. The story follows a young girl who discovers she possesses magical abilities, set against a backdrop of relatable high school drama and a budding first romance. While it uses fantasy elements, the heart of the narrative is about self-acceptance and the courage it takes to be honest with oneself and others. It is highly appropriate for the 12 to 17 age range, offering a secular and hopeful exploration of identity and personal power without being overly dark.
