The Loneliest Place

By: Lora Senf

Narrated by: Kimberly Woods

Evie ventures into the Dark Sun Side to rescue her loved ones, only to discover truths darker than she could have ever imagined in this “riveting and wildly imaginative” (Kirkus Reviews) finale to the Blight Harbor series that’s perfect for fans of Doll Bones and Small Spaces.

As summer comes to an end, Evie Von Rathe is determined to begin the search for her parents in earnest. Armed with her knowledge of the otherworldly, her mom’s violet glasses, and a pendant full of doors, Evie begins to piece together clues. When she realizes her mother’s bedtime story might be a roadmap to finding them, Evie follows it back to the Dark Sun Side.

But stories are funny things, and they change from one teller to the next.

The black nothing of the Radix is waiting, and it knows more than it’s ever let on. Evie will need every bit of courage she has for what’s coming. With Bird at her side, and maybe even a reluctant Lark as well, Evie has what she hopes is her last adventure under a purple sky.

REALLY enjoy this series!

I really enjoy Evie and the world building is great!! I hope this isn't the last one but it's a great ending if it is.

(First comment, yay!)

Lora Senf is a creative powerhouse! Her ideas and world-building bring a very refreshing contribution to the genre of children’s horror and fantasy. I’m absolutely enthralled by the Blight Harbor series and I’m so glad to see she has made all the right decisions with this (much-awaited by me) third novel.

Growing beyond anxiety and fear to trust in your own power, born of loving and being loved

The author and narrator faithfully depict anxiety, fear, and their overcoming. The main character is kind and empathic, even when anxious or scared. She goes to The Dark Sun Side to save her parents. Her helpers there include a tattoo bird, spiders, and a fawn. This is a beautifully imagined story with a main character to identify with and adventures that test and build her mettle. “There is always a way”, says the bird.
