This book captured my interest because it reminded me of my childhood favourites, Tamora Pierce and Mercedes Lackey. It’s a great blend of fantasy and action adventure and hits all the right spots – a courageous and kind-hearted main character finding their way in a strange new world and using all their skills to overcome a host of troubles, from schoolyard bullies to escaped shadow-beasts and discovering magical talents. This hardcover gift edition features a gorgeous cover and will be a treasured addition to any young person's library.
