"Author Dowding describes her heroine’s heart breaking several times until she has to face the powerful darkness of the Shade. It is at that point that she discovers the inner strength borne of her deep affection and sincere joy for those around her and those who are no longer.

Dowding’s effective use of magic realism gives this novel the flexibility to reconcile the minutiae of everyday life with the huge events that can derail it, allowing a resolution that neither diminishes nor exaggerates either of these polar opposites."

What a great review for my latest YA magic realism story, Everton Miles is Stranger than Me, thank you, Resource Links Magazine. It's been a few years since they've given me an "E", it's not that easy to get one!

Everton's story is the sequel to The Strange Gift of Gwendolyn Golden, an OLA Red Maple nominee in 2015. The series is called The Night Flyer's Handbook.
