About This Book
Reach for this book when your middle-grade reader is grappling with a sense of helplessness, perhaps due to a long-term illness or the weight of making big life choices. It is a unique high-fantasy quest that mirrors the internal struggle of a young girl in a hospital bed, using the realm of Fairytale to explore the power of imagination as a tool for resilience. The story follows three girls, Jade, Opal, and Amber, who must unite to fight a rising darkness and persuade Death itself to end a strike. While the primary plot is a classic battle between good and evil, the emotional core lies in the parallel narrative of Joa, a dying child whose dreams fuel the fantasy world. This book serves as a bridge for discussing how we find hope and purpose when our physical circumstances feel restrictive.
