"A beautifully rendered coming-of-age story."-Kirkus Reviews
(starred review) No one knows what lies beyond the magical village
door, but Ezomo is determined to find out. Mayonn Paasewe-Valchev's
debut is an unforgettable coming-of-age story about friendship,
family, and long-standing traditions. The power of storytelling
comes to life in this novel perfect for fans of Erin Entrada Kelly,
Tracey Baptiste, and Tae Keller. There are three important laws in
Ezomo's village: Do not go to The Valley, do not go out at night,
and never, ever, ever open the magical door that protects them all.
But when Ezomo encounters the leopard believed to have killed his
father, he and his two best friends embark on a journey that leads
them past the boundaries set by their elders. With his friends by
his side, Ezomo chases after the leopard, certain that it has the
power to cure all. But in the process, he discovers the truth about
his village. And that cautionary tales exist for a reason. Mayonn
Paasewe-Valchev's debut novel balances a gripping adventure with
themes of friendship, community, identity, grief, and resilience.
Poignant and memorable, Ezomo's story will appeal to fantasy lovers
and readers of Grace Lin and Kelly Barnhill.
