Maya and the Rising Dark by Rena Barron

5.0

Short review: this book is fantastic, and you should absolutely read it!

Long review: this book is fantastic, quirky, funny, and has a lot of heart, and you should absolutely read it!

Maya's voice resonates; she is full of heart and good intentions, and is just trying to do her best in a world that keeps changing and keeps trying to take a (literal) darker path. Her friends are lovable and actually useful to the story, and there are real stakes.

Seriously, just read it!
