CHILD OF LIGHT

by a maid, and a note written by a friend. In keeping with the spiritualist theme, the story moves fluidly through time, jumping backward on several occasions to fill in the story of the Memenons (in particular, Papa\u0027s history as an electrical scientist). Bender gracefully conveys how the currents of the times and the influence of parents shape a young mind, and in Ambrétte the author has created a memorable character."

Our Review

This epic fantasy adventure follows a young girl's journey through a magical kingdom where she must master her newfound powers to restore balance to a world threatened by encroaching darkness. The narrative blends classic hero's journey elements with fresh world-building, creating a realm filled with luminous creatures, ancient prophecies, and shadowy adversaries that will captivate middle grade and young adult readers alike.

What sets this fantasy novel apart is its emotionally resonant protagonist whose vulnerability and courage feel authentic to the adolescent experience, making her transformation particularly compelling for readers navigating their own coming-of-age challenges. The lyrical prose and vivid imagery create an immersive reading experience that balances thrilling action sequences with thoughtful moments of self-discovery, ultimately delivering a powerful message about inner strength and embracing one's unique gifts.
