Sheine Lende: A Prequel to Elatsoe [Hardcover]

LikeElatsoe,Sheine Lendeis much more chill than your typical YA fantasy or YA mystery. The stakes are high, but it never feels stressful. There is little on-the-page violence, and even when things get heavy or dangerous, the reader always feels safe. Little Badger guides the reader through a fascinating world.
