About This Book
Reach for this book when your teenager is struggling with the isolation of grief or feeling a deep, unspoken anger toward the world and their family. It is a powerful tool for those navigating the aftermath of losing a parent, offering a way to process heavy emotions through the lens of a high-stakes adventure. Set in a future where the environment is failing, the story follows fifteen-year-old Kelsa as she teams up with a trickster spirit in the form of a Raven to save the planet's magic. While the backdrop is a dystopian sci-fi quest, the heart of the book is Kelsa's emotional evolution. Parents will appreciate how it validates a teen's need for independence and their right to be angry, while slowly guiding them toward hope and reconciliation. It is age-appropriate for middle and high schoolers who enjoy complex world-building and are ready to discuss the intersection of environmental ethics and personal healing.
