Read Eat Sleep Repeat

Gillett is an expert at building fascinating, detailed, and often terrifying imaginary worlds. Her extensive knowledge of Norse mythology, paired with her seemingly limitless imagination, gives her books depth and, of course, makes them great fun to read.

Author of The Abode

The writing in this book was gorgeous and fast paced, I read it in one sitting, and a perfect introductory book for fantasy for middle graders.
The plot was super fun, adventurous and full of twists and turns that really kept you on your seat and ready for whatever was coming next for the kids.
The characters were just so lovable. Our MC Zaria was a good role model, she was courageous and quick witted and loved her friends dearly.
