![]() (Disclaimer: I received this book from Edelweiss. She just hopes she can do it in time to attend Comic-Con before summer’s over. But now that the veil is failing, the Lord of Shadows is determined to destroy the human world and it’s up to Maya to stop him. Maya herself is a godling, half orisha and half human, and her neighborhood is a safe haven. Her father is the guardian of the veil between our world and the Dark-where an army led by the Lord of Shadows, the man from Maya’s nightmares, awaits. ![]() When Papa goes missing, Maya is thrust into a world both strange and familiar as she uncovers the truth. But to Maya, it sounds like something from one of Papa’s stories or her favorite comics. Her friends try to find an explanation-perhaps a ghost uprising or a lunchroom experiment gone awry. Twelve-year-old Maya is the only one in her South Side Chicago neighborhood who witnesses weird occurrences like werehyenas stalking the streets at night and a scary man made of shadows plaguing her dreams. I love seeing all these diverse stories for middle grade audiences! Keep reading this review to find out all the reason I loved this one!
