Why did Kayla love this book?
I know how it feels to believe you don’t belong, to see the world differently than most, and to stand out when you want more than anything to fit in.
Nova Hawthorne, the primary protagonist, embodies this misguided belief about herself, too. But Nova has to set aside her fears when she learns that magic is real and the people she loves most and the whole world are in danger.
Through Nova’s story, readers are shown that no one must prove themselves worthy of love, we’ve all already been redeemed, and we are loved just as we are. Not only are there wonderful, poignant lessons beautifully woven into this young adult portal fantasy narrative, but there is disabled and neurodivergent representation as well!
1 author picked Child of Prophecy as one of their favorite books, and they share why you should read it.
Fifteen-year-old Nova Hawthorne sees sounds, a condition called Synesthesia, a trait that’s branded her a freak. But there’s a reason she doesn’t fit anywhere in this world – she’s from another one. And prophecy says she’s destined to destroy them both.
Can Nova uncover the truth about the power hiding inside her without destroying everything and everyone she loves?
If you enjoyed C.S. Lewis' Narnia books, you’ll love this fantastic journey to a world where magic still exists, wonders abound, and differences can be the greatest power of all.
