Starlight and Shadow is about a loyal, determined, and very much family-oriented wolf named Starlight and her quest to unite her family. Her brother joined another pack and her dad took off when they were young. Although the rest of her family might not care as much as she does, Starlight wants to live with them again and will go through almost anything to make that happen. While reading, you will feel curious, scared, and excited through the ups and downs. Starlight''s story will give you insight into how it might be to live as a wolf and fight for what you believe in-inspiring courage and boldness as we fight for what matters most to us, too.Written by Society of Young Inklings author, Aanya Singh, Starlight and Shadow highlights the talent, dedication, and creativity of a youth author. Along with her Society of Young Inklings mentor, Aanya spent over a year revising her novel toward publication, focusing on deepening characterization, developing lively dialogue, and adding texture and layers to the world of her story.
