Praise for Shadowshaper Named one of the "100 Best Fantasy Books of All Time" by TIME magazine A Top Ten YALSA Best Fiction for Young Adults Selection A Top Ten ALA Quick Pick A Kirkus Prize Finalist An Andre Award Nominee A New York Times Notable Children's Book An NPR Best Book of the Year A Publishers Weekly Best Book of the Year "In the best urban fantasy, the city is not just a backdrop, but functions as a character in its own right . . . That is certainly true in Daniel José Older's magnificent Shadowshaper , which gives us a Brooklyn that is vital, authentic, and under attack . . . Older is able to infuse Shadowshaper with the spirit of Brooklyn in the summer, where the possibility of magic hangs shimmering in the air. This is a world that readers cannot help wanting to live in and, as with all great urban fantasies, harboring a suspicion that perhaps we already do." -- Holly Black, New York Times bestselling author of The Coldest Girl in Coldtown and The Iron Trial , in the New York Times Book Review "The strength of Older's tale is in his meticulous attention to the details of the life of a brown-skinned, natural-haired Puerto Rican teenage girl. Older's storytelling is rich enough to warrant such treatment, because this is a world that will stay with readers long after the last page." -- Los Angeles Times "Older's book is a first-rate example of how representation, diversity and themes of social justice and identity can be skillfully woven into a narrative -- not so that they disappear, but so that the story pivots on them in a way that is authentic, exciting, and ultimately satisfying." -- Cory Doctorow, Boing Boing " Shadowshaper may be a page-turner, but it's also an allegory that touches on timely issues like gentrification, cultural appropriation, sexism and colorism without feeling pedantic. Combining that social commentary with magic, humor, PG-13 romance, Puerto Rican culture, a reverence for creative work and Older's keen ear for the way teens speak, it's as profound a representation as you could want of a young person's New York City in the 21st century." -- TIME * "Warm, strong, vernacular, dynamic -- a must." -- Kirkus Reviews , starred review * "Excellent diverse genre fiction in an appealing package." -- School Library Journal , starred review * "What makes Older's story exceptional is the way Sierra belongs in her world, grounded in family, friends, and an awareness of both history and change." -- Publishers Weekly , starred review * "Smart writing with a powerful message that never overwhelms the terrific storytelling." -- Booklist , starred review Praise for Shadowhouse Fall A Locus Award Finalist "Older takes the idea of fantasy as metaphor and smashes it to bits, bringing us to a Brooklyn steeped in magic that feels utterly real and punch-to-the-gut perilous. A powerful adventure that blurs the line between the real and the imagined in daring, breathtaking ways, Shadowhouse Fall is not only a thrilling hero's journey, but a magical revolution on the page." -- Leigh Bardugo, New York Times bestselling author of Six of Crows and Crooked Kingdom "Brilliant . . . A novel about Brooklyn, love, spirituality, family and something else. Something I can't even explain but am enthralled by and want more of. This is the beauty and magic of Older's writing -- he leaves us openmouthed and speechless, asking 'What just happened to me?!' Loved this book." -- Jacqueline Woodson, New York Times bestselling author of Another Brooklyn and Brown Girl Dreaming " Shadowhouse Fall flips and reshuffles principles of light and darkness in stunning revelation after revelation.
