Alien roots, ability to transform into animals and the focus on female friendships. Reading the book is definitely going to be an enthralling adventure and I can't wait to get started. Fantastic review!

A fantastic coming-of-age story, filled with action, adventure, intrigue, and epic world-building, sounds very interesting. The story of Sophia and her friends from Chiralis is such amazing one. I'll definitely read this one. Thanks for your review.

Haven't read a book on female empowerment in a long time. The same I read is interesting enough that I continue to finish the book. The review justifies why the book would be a great read. Thanks.

I am not a fan of young adult literature but this sounds like an interesting read. Themes of friendship and self discovery are very relatable, little wonder you enjoyed the book so much. Nice review.

This looks like a well-developed story with well-developed characters. Holding the key to an ancient relic puts a weight off adventurous responsibility on you. I hope with the discovery of her roots, Sophia would be able to save the day.

This is an interesting take on an alien story, and I’m always on board for a good female empowerment novel. Sophia being able to transform into animals is especially intriguing to me, but I think that’s because I love animals and have always had a soft spot for the idea of transforming into different animals. Thank you for the helpful review.

Sounds interesting but I am not too keen on reading about a young girl who turns into animals.

The plot of this book has me in its claws! I love Sophia's abilities and I'm glad she's not alone at school. I'm curious to see what more she discovers about herself during her camping days and how she finds out that the clues to the missing orb lie in her eyes and pendant. Awesome review!

This seems like a great read with immersive worldbuilding and a whole cast of different characters. I like that the storyline also invokes the spirit if friendship. Thank you for a detailed review.

I love that it is a coming of age story centered around young girls on an adventure. This book will satisfy the reader's yearning for a full story with a message. It's also a clean action story with strong female characters. I appreciate the detailed review. Thanks for the book! Congrats to the author!

Great review! I would read this book by the cover alone, but your review definitely seals the deal for me. Happy reading!
