Reach for this book when your child is grappling with the realization that the adults or authority figures in their life don't always have all the answers or might even stand in the way of their growth. It is a powerful choice for middle schoolers who feel like they are carrying the weight of the world and need to see that their inner strength is enough to navigate complex social and moral challenges. In this second installment of the Waterfire Saga, Serafina and Neela must go on separate, high-stakes quests to find ancient talismans. While the setting is a rich underwater fantasy world, the emotional core is about the transition from childhood obedience to teenage agency. It explores themes of political betrayal and the necessity of self-reliance, making it ideal for readers aged 10 to 14 who enjoy epic stories about finding one's place in a fractured society.
