What a treat of a book! From the first paragraph, I was hooked. Millie Florence knows how to use her words to captivate. The hero's journey of this book was a delight to read, and I enjoyed watching Lydia grow. The villian of the story "the Darkness" is not too scary for a younger MG reader but still effective. Overall, I loved the friendships, the courage Lydia found to accomplish her goals, and the ultimate sense of hope and goodness that this book ended with. While this book holds a Biblical worldview, it is never in your face. I'd hand this to any reader. Great read for MG kids and adults alike!

I did receive an e-galley from the publisher through Netgalley (though I ended up reading my own copy.) All opinions are my own.
