Folklore opens doors to worlds where magic can challenge everything a young person knows about belonging. Loretta Chefchaouni’s The Lustrous Dark draws on a Moroccan folktale as a midwife’s apprentice fights to reclaim power stolen from women. Romina Garber weaves Argentine folklore and questions of identity into Wolves of No World: Lobizona and Cazadora: 2 Books in 1. In Darcie Little Badger’s Children of Owl, interconnected lives collide with ghosts, Animal People, and a vengeful monster. And Maggie Stiefvater’s The Dream Thieves: Raven Cycle #2 ventures into the dangerous space between dreams and reality.
