Reach for this book when your teenager is grappling with the pressure of high expectations or the feeling of being overwhelmed by new responsibilities. Abigail Rook has inherited the Sight, a sensory overload that forces her to see the essential truth of everything around her. As she navigates this transition, she must also contend with parents who want to control her future and a city on the brink of a magical civil war. It is an excellent choice for kids who feel like they are constantly trying to live up to a version of themselves they haven't quite mastered yet. Through Abigail's journey, the story explores the importance of setting boundaries with family, the value of found community, and the courage required to stand up for marginalized groups when social tensions turn into active hatred. It is a smart, witty, and emotionally resonant mystery that balances supernatural thrills with the very real struggle of claiming one's own identity.
