The Plentiful Darkness
The Plentiful Darkness | Heather Kassner
2 posts | 3 read | 1 to read
In Heather Kassner's spine-chilling fantasy novel, reminiscent of Serafina and the Black Cloak, an orphaned girl chases a thieving boy into a magician’s land of starless, moonless gloom where other children have gone missing before her. "Gleams with an eerie magic, its characters burning bright and fierce. A visual treat of a tale." —Stefan Bachmann, international bestselling author of Cinders and Sparrows In order to survive on her own, twelve-year-old Rooney de Barra collects precious moonlight, which she draws from the evening sky with her (very rare and most magical) lunar mirror. All the while she tries to avoid the rival roughhouse boys, and yet another, more terrifying danger: the dreaded thing that's been disappearing children in the night. When Trick Aidan, the worst of the roughhouse boys, steals her lunar mirror, Rooney will do whatever it takes to get it back. Even if it means leaping into a pool of darkness after it swallows Trick and her mirror. Or braving the Plentiful Darkness, a bewitching world devoid of sky and stars. Or begrudgingly teaming up with Trick to confront the magician and unravel the magic that has trapped Warybone’s children.

Kassner plays with characters who incorrectly make assumptions about others & people who make bad choices but aren‘t bad people. Her writing is eerie without being scary. Middle grade students invited her to our final meeting of the year after we read The Plentiful Darkness. Would recommend her books & author visits.

The atmosphere is Pied Piper. It even has a rat although this one is on the side of good. There is mention if a pandemic which took many lives so beware. That said, this was a nice bit of creepy goodness.

Kimberlone What a great cover! 2y
