The Otherfolk
When Princess Anna Carillo and her best friend Peter decide to run away from the castle, they know it's risky. The east side of the island has always been off-limits, and they've never found out why. But they never thought they would find a whole other world full of mythical creatures and magical plants. As enemies arise, tragedies strike, and mysteries unfold, Anna becomes more and more unsure of who she can trust.
What more does she not know about the island — and what other lies is she being told?
If you like fantastical dystopia and a touch of mystery, this book is for you! Told through alternating perspectives, The Otherfolk weaves the story of Anna Carillo and Peter McCraft, two teens who will give everything to find freedom—and, on the way, stumble into a massive, magical cover-up. I loved the dynamics in this found family, and rooted for them until the end! Perfect for middle-grade readers or anyone who enjoys a good-sized dose of laughter and magic!
