From the author of Rival Magic comes a middle-grade fantasy about unexpected heroes, the power of friendship, and one boisterous enchanted sword.
Who doesn't love a reluctant hero with a secret heart of gold? Lark is a perfectly imperfect protagonist who confronts her foibles as she grows into her role as Nightingale. She is relatable in her humanity, and this makes for an earnest, approachable read.
As with Rival Magic, this story is chock full of inspiring, complicated heroines. Lark is emotionally complex yet ultimately fearless and goodhearted; Miss Dashlilly is this story's very own version of celebrity-spy Hedy Lamarr; Sophie is a tirless advocate for social justice; and each of Miss Starvenger's boarding house girls bring their own strength to the adventure. It's no surprise, then, that the ultimate evolution of the Nightingale (spoilers!) is to extend the role to all six girls. Female heroes abound in this story!Â
