Shana Targosz writes about magical girls, budding friendships, ghosts who may or may not be friendly, and fiercely held hope. She is an Oregon Literary Fellow and the 2021 recipient of the Edna L. Holmes Fellowship in Young Readers Literature. Shana is the author of The Underwild series, the first book of which was an instant New York Times bestseller. When not writing or reading through a stack of books, she spends her time playing Zelda with her son, designing solo journaling games, walking her domesticated monster disguised as a Labradoodle, and dreaming up different worlds.

The stellar sequel returns readers to the same vibrant, unsettling (under)world, but the outsider's perspective makes it feel fresh. . . . A fantastic follow-up that revels in the gift of found family and the power in taking control of your own story."-- "--Booklist"

"A captivating exploration of found family and healing through Greek mythology."-- "--Kirkus, Starred Review"
