“When a situation calls for panic, resist the urge. Instead, focus on something you can control. Check your hair and clothing. Are you neat and presentable? Stylish? If so, remember that you can handle anything and panic is gauche.” - Susan Juby, The Fashion Committee

JOMP Book Photo Challenge / November / 18 / young adult

a story of love, loss, and the fragility of time.

[littleeyesofpallas]

I have always loved Molly Knox Ostertag's work, in particular the really cute, heartwarming tact of the Witch Boy trilogy's trans allegory and the way it feels so well built to walk that fine line of appropriately nuanced but still perfectly digestible for its intended teen audience.

Well The Deep Dark is more of precisely that style of writing and it blows me away just as much now as Witch Boy did the first time I read it. It's exactly the kind of book I wish I'd had as a kid, and the sort of thing that lights a little hopeful flame in the jaded dark corners of my heart. It's the sort of thing that helps me feel optimistic about a generation of kids who will grow up with this kind of story as their formative personal mythos.

I know I don't usually do reviews or recommendation on this blog so I dunno who this is for really, and it certainly won't have any particular reach, but if you find yourself with the chance to, I really can't recommend The Deep Dark enough. And of course everything else Molly Knox Ostertag has had a hand in, even the one's she's not been the sole author on.

Shout out to this cute book for healing me after a read through of the animorphs series. It's the first book I could sit through after the HURT that animorphs did to my very psyche.

Very cute, love a book about nerds, and it honestly just felt like a warm hug when I needed it. 3.5/5 Stars
