Gr 5–7—Comic book—loving Maya discovers that she is no ordinary girl from South Side Chicago, but a godling and
half-orisha; her father is the Guardian of the Veil that separates the worlds. When he suddenly goes missing, it is up
to Maya and her two best friends to save him from the Lord of Shadows. Barron expertly weaves a nail-biting
adventure featuring a diverse cast and elements of African folklore that is sure to excite any reader.

* I got this book for review from the publisher for my honest thoughts*

I found this to be engaging read that focus on myths, growing up and friendship. I also loved how this book focus on young minority girl and really loved how Chicago was the setting of this book. I thought the villain of this book lord of shadows was a fun villain and loved how the myth world was developed. I also like maya and her parents dynamics in this read. I thought the pacing of this book was not as strong as should have been and i also thought there was some massive info dump moments but i grew to love the world and the characters. I will def be checking out book 2! (

A great recommendation for the parent who's child has read all the Rick Riordan books. I'm don't make this comparison flippantly. It follows a similar pattern in terms of plotting. The African mythology and traditional folklore is well utilized and the book is full of action, along with magical beings, strange powers and positive role models. For readers who love listening, the audiobook is well narrated and uses sound and music to accentuate the story's action. (

RGG: Similar to the Lightning Thief, but with African mythology, godlings, gods and goddesses. The plot and writing are somewhat prosaic, but a great read-alike.
