J. Steiger--perfect for fans of Holly Black and Kelly Barnhill.</strong></p> <p>Simon Frost lives in a curious place, where magic is used by the very best Animists to do wondrous things--like call upon imps, wraiths, and all manner of monsters to right wrongs, deliver justice, and accomplish feats no human could achieve.</p> <p>Simon Frost is not one of those Animists, though he's been trying to become one for years. </p> <p>When a plea arrives from a distant hamlet, preyed upon by an abominable monster, Simon sees the opportunity to finally prove his worth. </p> <p>But upon arriving in the tiny village, Simon finds not just a monster but a key to his past--and a pathway into an unbelievable future.</p><p/><br></br><p><b> Review Quotes </b></p></br></br><br>"Strong worldbuilding is matched with breathtaking adventure, a touch of romance, and compelling characters... Thought-provoking and entertaining in equal measure, here's hoping this isn't the last we see of Simon and Alice."--School Library Journal <strong>(starred review)</strong><br><br>"Although there is some delicious gore and thrilling discovery, Simon's family is the heart of the novel... Dark fantasy and even some horror buffs will appreciate the scares."--Bulletin of the Center for Children's Books<br><br>"Beautifully imagined and vividly described...a prevailing tone of earnestness and hope balances the decay and dread to create an ideal first experience of a horror standby."--<em>Publishers Weekly</em><br><br>Praise for <em>When My Heart Joins the Thousand</em>: "A gorgeous love story of depth and raw emotion that beautifully dismantles the ugly perceptions of autism."<br/>--<em>Kirkus Reviews </em><strong>(starred review)</strong><br><br>"[Alvie's] meltdowns and behavioral quirks add dimension to what is a fully realized portrayal of a person living with Asperger's... This is a love story that could also appeal to adult readers. Their love is hard-fought and deservedly earned."--School Library Journal <strong>(starred review)</strong><br><br>"At last! A.J. Steiger's <em>When My Heart Joins the Thousand</em> offers a love story between two atypical characters with breathtaking honesty about all the messy aspects of real love--sex, compatibility, trust, and most of all, honesty."--Cammie McGovern, author of <em>Say What You Will</em><br>
