My Favorite YA Book

July9

Book: Little Sister

Author: Kara Dalkey

Category: Fantasy/Magical realism

What I like: The main character, Mitsuko, goes on an adventure to save her sister’s soul. This book is filled with Japanese folklore, myth, and tradition, so it’s not your typical heroine story. The story is written very lyrically and is pleasant to read as well as suspenseful. 

What I don’t like: It’s short! I never want the story to end, but after 200 pages it does. Thankfully there is a sequel: The Heavenward Path.

It also can be difficult to find these book in libraries and bookstores because it was out of print for a while. Thank goodness for Amazon.com
