About This Book
Reach for this book when your child is struggling to trust their own instincts or feels like their unique way of seeing the world makes them an outsider. In this second installment of the Wild Magic quartet, fourteen year old Daine travels to a mountain valley to investigate an environmental and political threat. She must bridge the gap between the human world and the animal kingdom to stop a devastating magical weapon. This is an empowering story about finding one's voice, the ethics of environmental stewardship, and the courage required to stand up for those who cannot speak for themselves. While it contains fantasy violence and some scary magical creatures, it remains a hopeful exploration of identity and responsibility for middle school readers.
