Booklist - 05/01/2023 Red wonders if she has the same strength as her mentor, Yakaka, a witch who flies worldwide, mending rain forests and tending troubled valleys. Yet strength is all Red has left when an accident separates her from Yakaka and she’s saved by a family who lives alone near the sea. As she tries to practice her magic, parts of Red’s past return, changing her relationship with Yakaka. If her mentor comes back, will Red follow and abandon her new family? This is a powerful story about forgiveness and healing. The grand adventure is found not in finding a mystical purpose nor defeating an evil king, but in a girl who learns to write her story. Red’s new family provides the hope her character needs, building cathartic moments despite disasters like a rising storm and buried secrets. Storms can end, family can find each other, and stories create the strongest magic. For readers who are fans of quiet adventures and (literal) magical storytelling, this is one to hold near your heart. - Copyright 2023 Booklist.
