Sofi and the Bone Song

How it reads

Sofi and the Bone Song is fantasy (young adult fantasy, specifically), and its dominant mood is adventurous. It's driven by momentum, discovery and getting into trouble. The pace is moderate — neither a page-turner nor a slow burn — so it holds up whether you read it in long sittings or short ones.

It's set in an invented world, in no single period, told in the third person, staying close to one character. Its central concerns are identity, friendship and art and creativity. In weight it's light and escapist — easy to fall into.

It stands alone, so there's nothing else you need to read first or after. The ending resolves happily. At 416 pages it's an ordinary novel's length. It's a hidden gem — known to relatively few readers.
